The co-President of the Independence/Democracy Group in the European Parliament, Jens Peter Bonde MEP, told the National Forum On Europe on Thursday 6 March that the Irish government should look for changes to the Treaty of Lisbon (EU Reform Treaty) at the summit of EU leaders in Brussels on 14th March. His IND/DEM Group comprises twenty four members from nine countries, including Kathy Sinnott MEP for the South Euro Constituency.
Addressing a plenary session of the Forum in the Royal Hospital Kilmainham, Dublin, Mr Bonde said his advice to the government was that it was not too late to look for special protocols to be attached to the Treaty to safeguard “sensitive Irish issues”.
