Eamon Gilmore's Lie on the Lisbon Referendum - Political Credibility Gone - Should Resign

[Sam Lord]

A Senator in the U.S. has managed to out-lie Gilmore. Literally caught with his pants dow, this bloke

Unfortunate name ....

Is Eamon Gilmore a KGB defector now working for the CIA??

Gene Kerrigan returns to this today:

THERE has been a new twist in the controversy involving Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore and the apparent conflict between what he said in private and what he said in public. While the matter remains unresolved, the possibility has been raised that Mr Gilmore was wronged, and that the event widely remarked upon (in this newspaper and elsewhere) never took place.

Or, perhaps it did. In which case, the controversy is verging into Twilight Zone territory.

That's interesting PaddyJoe.
But serves only to muddy the waters, really.
Obfuscation. It hasn't gone away, you know!

So here is what happened. They lied to one of Staggs constituents hoping to appease him/her and thinking that the matter would go no further. Unfortunately for them the constituent sent the letter to Kerrigan. Now the mess is even messier.

Dear me Sam.
Same point at the same time.

Good journalism by Kerrigan. I will be blunt about it and say that it appears that Gilmore and/or Stagg are in probability lying when they say that Gilmore refuted it in the Dail. Kerrigan offers Gilmore a way of putting his claim that he didn't say it on solid ground. I haven't heard anything about that happening.

Anyway, back to business.

Gilmore now says we should not have another Referendum.

So when is it going to be ?

He knows that it's highly likely that referendum would be rejected as the electorate felt betrayed by Lisbon mark I and II. Inda Kenny had stated this tin EU meeting.

Enda has joined the queue and is meeting Barrosso for discussions on the debt crisis on Thursday:-

The Taoiseach is to hold a special meeting with the president of the European Commission Jose Manuel Barroso on Thursday to discuss the Eurozone debt crisis.

It comes after the government said it would oppose any efforts by EU leaders to change the Lisbon treaty - a move which would trigger another referendum in Ireland.

What is worrying the government appropos another referendum is they know that they would have an impossible job selling it to the people.

Lisbon II was sold on the basis of safeguarding jobs and look where we are now.

That rules 'em out rehashing the old posters so to save costs in these times
