On 14th February 2008 (St Valentine's Day) we held a public forum on the Labour Party's position on the Lisbon Reform Treaty and the Charter of Fundamental Rights.
The Labour leader Eamon Gilmore TD addressed the forum he pointed out the Charter of Fundamental Rights is the big idea in the Lisbon Reform Treaty. Eamon outlined its contents and its origins. It dealt with traditional, civil and political rights but also included the full gamut of social, economic, administrative and cultural rights. These are dealt with in the Charter under seven headings, human dignity, freedoms, equality, solidarity, citizen rights, justice and general provisions.Yesterday we held a public forum in the European Parliament in Dublin on the European Charter of Fundamental Rights.
I strongly believe that the Charter provides roadmap for citizen's rights in the EU

Hi Joe, Can I ask you a question. Will the Charter of Fundemental Rights be binding now that it is included in the Lisbon Treaty. Does that mean it will be superior to Irish Law.
I think that most of the provisions are already in Irish Law or we have signed up to them under Previous conventions? Thanks
A rank smell imamates from any fundamental charter expressed, least sanctioned by the fatally flawed spineless doormat bureaucrats, the so called republican party wave the flag , then crap on nationalist principal in the form of p.p.p, public private partnership. “Why should we pay for services that future generations will have the most benefit from? “. The answer is simple it’s the Irish ethos, the conservative values that fed the boom years of the previous two decades. The property rights that were chiselled by O’Connell, honed by Peirce and high jacked by may Fein people.
Any independent vetting body or committee is a positive aspect, especially regarding human rights, but we have been members of the EU for more than 30 years, we’ve been subject to the European court of human rights and amnesty international. Every citizen has the right to bring their portfolio of incompetence to those tribunals, but only after they have exhausted the formulas enacted by the true democratic government. When the leader of this government can through share privilege blatantly mislead the nation and not be held to account, John Doe’s money will be well spent on justice and the barristers will see to it that justice is served and due process is done! If the state exists for promotions then the entity is fundamentally a circus. For if one is to lecture on a subject, it would be reasonable to assume academically at least one mastered in that subject. If the Lisbon treaty is for Ireland it must be stringently conditioned with amendments that recognize the unique position we are in. we have a government elected by people, but apparently there are many thousands more registered to vote than there are people, this can further be substantiated by the fact that the is a serious problem with benefit fraud for people that do not exist. When people vote their names are ticked of the list of registered people, but after the ballot boxes are full and transferred to the counting station, there is no bar coding on the boxes or their anonymous votes to track that they were actually the same boxes. When our government takes control it engages in ppp. That is parish pump politics and fills the forum with its friends. It grips all state institutions by there incompetent heads, It uses it state controlled media broadcasting stations to malign the opposition and report police pr to the blind. It sways the print media with advertisement contracts if not endorsing their founders with privileges. It sets the standards for the police force, for penalties while policing the court system with appointed judiciary. It monitors all telecommunications and engages special secret advisers for its polity is that, not one man should have a monopoly on wisdom. If Lisbon be good let it be just that, empower it with the fundamental right for retribution and compensation, that it be the CAB of Europe, a final tribunal for incompetent if not corrupt politicians. That it may be empowered and sanctioned to rewrite the contract. The contract that lost Ireland its natural resources, its ferry’s, its airways, its peat lands, its sugar plants ,its steel plants, its glass plants, its fishing rights, its infrastructure, its service industry, its biodiversity and its independence.
