Eugene Regan (Fine Gael)

I have a specific question. Whether the MEP is correct, it is a symptom of the change from understanding the Irish position to anger, particularly with regard to the European Parliament elections next year. The failure to pass the Lisbon treaty referendum means that the European Parliament elections will be based on the Nice treaty. This affects 12 member states and in the case of Spain four fewer MEPs will be elected. We have alienated 12 member states in Europe.
