This guy to the power of 10 is what gets to the european parliament by and large from every member state – that, ladies and gentlemen, us why I am voting “No” to Lisbon for the second time around.

Just emailed Ned via the Fianna Fail website as he seems bereft of either a site or an email address himself:
“Hi Ned,
I couldn’t quite make out your answer on Newstalk yesterday so I thought I’d email you, where you have a chance for some quiet reflection, and ask: do you think it’s fair that TDs can claim unvouched for expenses? I look forward to hearing your simply formulated yes or no answer.
Sincerely,
Allan Cavanagh.”
