Well said Sean

Funny, I don’t agree with the No side :/ Iv been searching for the word tax, bank and austerity in this treaty for the past four weeks and I have came up blank.

Kevin would you not agree that the treaty is only a stepping stone? look down that path and you will see what you are searching for..

kevin, you might have a point if you weren’t referring to a treaty that the dogs in the street know is going to be changed.

@ Kevin, funny, but I haven’t been able to find the words “investment”, “export growth” and “job creation” as put forward by the Yes side. Why can’t both the No side and the Yes side stop bloody lying.

Yes-side: If the Treaty is genuinely good for Ireland then tell us why. We know there will be negatives in it – it’s a compromise between 25 countries (UK and Czech Republic exempted). So tell us the negatives too. Just explain how the positives outweigh the negatives. We’re not stupid. And stop mud-slinging at the No side. All that does is undermine your own argument. It makes you look cowardly, amateurish and promotes the idea that you’re not 100% confident in your own argument.

No-side: Stop treating this Fiscal Compact as something inherently evil and stop assuming that anyone in an establishment party is out only for themselves. There will be good points in this Treaty. Be honest and tell us what the good points are as well as the bad points. Show us how the bad points outweigh the good. Again, just like the Yes-side, stop your mud slinging.

If those in power want to know why turnout at elections and referenda/ums (whatever!!) are falling, well here’s a starting point. Stop lying. Stop treating the electorate with contempt. Stop evading questions. Stop mud-slinging – argue the ball, not the man. We the electorate may come across as a bit ignorant sometimes when it comes to these issues, but that is as a direct result of how you “attempt” to inform the public.

Yes

Two true, yes and we’ll vote again as usual if we vote no.. All dogs know that

Jerry they don’t pretend to represent anyone they do a great job these guys are truly patriots only taking home the average ind wage pity there isn’t more like them ….

You should creep around the maternity hospitals of Donegal trying to spot what ward she is in Jerry. Stay Classy Sunshine.

@ Darren Englishby; if SF claim to represent ordinary working-class people then why was Martin McGuinness driven around in a Mercedes during some of his Presidental campaign?

Did he own the mercedes keith? Jesus, talk about clutching at straws.

By the way, I was driven around in a mercedes the other night. Theres me thinking I was climbing into a taxi…..

Why worry about weather they had private or did they go Public if they went private so what after all private patients pay for it on top of all PRSI USC’s and it means as a private patient they ate leaving a public bed for a public patient so what are you worried about

A Merc wow he should have had a horse and cart eh he was also in a big bus maybe he should have walked around the country The check of him to have a Merc lord above

I’m so devious that I didn’t even know I was being devious. I’m very confused now. ;)
