Sinn Féin in County Monaghan have announced details of a public meeting on the Lisbon Treaty. The meeting will take place on Monday next, 21st September at 8.30pm in the Four Seasons Hotel, Monaghan Town.
Confirmed speakers include local TD and the Sinn Féin Dáil Leader, Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin; former EU election candidate Tomás Sharkey (Louth County Council); and a representative from UNITE, the second largest trade union in the country which is vigorously campaigning for a ‘No’ vote.
The party has stressed that people of all persuasions are welcome to attend to put questions to the panel and to make any observations of their own.
Chairperson of Monaghan Comhairle Ceanntair Sinn Féin, Matt Carthy, explained that the party felt obliged to hold a meeting to outline the full facts of the treaty. He said “The ‘yes’ side have been attempting to portray this referendum as whether we are for or against continued membership of the European Union. It’s not! They are also trying to suggest that the Lisbon Treaty has something to do with the economy or creating jobs. It doesn’t. The only job the Lisbon Treaty will save is Brian Cowen’s”.
“We are inviting all members of the County Monaghan public to come along and hear the details of the Lisbon Treaty to assist them in making up their own minds. We look forward to a lively debate!”
