Lisbon Treaty Information Evening

category galway | eu | event notice author Wednesday March 05, 2008 12:53author by Sarah - Galway One World Centre

No ‘Loo La’s’ need attend.


Andy Storey - UCD Lecturer in Development Studies and board member of the Afri NGO will speak at a public meeting in the Harbour Hotel at 7.30 on the 19th of March. Mr Storey’s particular areas of expertise are the implications of the Lisbon Treaty with regard to international trade and militarisation of the EU. Andy has formerly held positions with Trocaire both in Rwanda and as a policy researcher.


Despite Bertie Ahearn’s declaration that those opposed to the Lisbon Treaty are all Loo La’s (Irish Times Feb 21st) the Galway One World Centre and the ‘Galway No to Lisbon’ campaign are delighted to say that Andy will present an reasoned and informed argument that critically analyses the aspects of this treaty that relate to militarisation and trade. This talk will include a questions and comments section and those from all sides of this debate are welcome and encouraged to attend.
