"Mr President, first of all, I would like to thank President Barroso for coming here and answering questions openly, honestly and eagerly. Unfortunately, President Barroso was accused of not being democratically elected and of bullying the Irish into submission. I would like to tell Mr Farage that he certainly was not democratically elected to speak on behalf of the Irish, and his use of the word ‘bully’ was also unfortunate because, for 700 years, Ireland was known as John Bull’s other island, when John Bull – namely England – tried to bully the Irish into submission. Thankfully, that day is now over so I will go on to my question. With the new competences which the Lisbon Treaty gives to the European Union, would President Barroso consider giving one Commissioner exclusive responsibility to bring forward new proposals and new measures to enact these competences?"@en1
