Joint Oireachtas Committee on European Union Affairs: 2018 State of the Union Address and Related Matters: European Commission Representation in Ireland (28 Nov 2018)

Terry Leyden: With regard to what Deputy Haughey and Senator Craughwell said, any question of a further referendum would be very dangerous at this stage, bearing in mind that the wisdom of the Irish people was to vote down the Lisbon treaty. That treaty created Article 50. We were a very wise people in the first days. I do not know how Britain could exit had we not voted for the Lisbon treaty the second...

It has certainly given us the boost in the economy we are experiencing at the moment. I thank Mr. Kiely for his support and his work on behalf of...
