It was closer than I expected in the end, but at least the result went the right way.

Hello Ireland ...

... here is Italy

Thanks to the geat irish folk who said NO to this treaty.

We Europeans out of Ireland we haven't the right to vote.

We haven't any chance to say our opinion about this treaty.

THANKS TO THE IRISH PEOPLE FOR THIS NO !

European Union is slowly becoming the Soviet Union with his central KREMLIN (Bruxelles) government.

Irish people gave us a sign of Hope and Freedom.

GREAT THANKS FOR THIS NO TO THE LISBON TREATY FROM FROM THE ITALIAN FOLK.

I have no doubt that if referenda were held in every EU country there would have been many NO votes, especially in Western Europe.
