Luke Flanagan (Roscommon-South Leitrim, Independent)

With various EU referenda through the years, anybody in opposition would have acted because the changes would lead us to a European super-state. Such people were labelled lunatics and told that would never happen but it is happening now.. Is the Minister in favour of a European super-state and the end of the Republic of Ireland as it has been? That is what will happen. What is the point in us being here if people in Europe will decide our budgets, whether a person can dig a drain and if people can smile? What will be next? Will we all have to wear tags in our ears because if we refuse, we will not get the money? Where does this end?
