"Of the two reports written by Mr Rangel, I voted against the one calling for no European convention to be convened to discuss the protocol on the concerns of the Irish people regarding the Treaty of Lisbon, but not against his report on the approval of the protocol itself.
The reason for this is that we would then have to have a convention to discuss the legitimate concerns of all citizens faced with European integration as it currently stands. We would then have to discuss the ultra-liberal and anti-social merits of the European policies set in stone in this Treaty. We would then have to discuss the role of the European Central Bank and the state of the euro. We would then have to obtain justice for the French and Dutch ‘No’ campaigns, whose concerns leaders did not see fit to consider, imposing on them a copy of the European constitution. Ireland has successfully safeguarded its family law, its tax system and its military neutrality.
We would have liked Nicolas Sarkozy to have taken this opportunity to begin to implement reforms of those things he criticises in Europe. He did not. This is clear proof that his campaign promises are, as they were in 2007, essentially demagogic."@en1
