Rory Hearne of the People Before Profit Alliance, is encouraging people from accross to city to find out more about the Lisbon Treaty by attending upcoming debates between the yes and no sides.
The first public Debate entitled: “Lisbon Treaty: Vote Yes or No? How will Lisbon impact on democracy, neutrality and public services?” takes place on
Tuesday, 20th May at 8 pm in the SAYS Youth services office, 4 Whitefriar, Aungier St , Dublin 2.
Speakers at the debate include Des Bonass (Unite union), Patricia McKenna (former Green Party MEP), a Speaker from the Irish Alliance for Europe and Rory Hearne (People Before Profit Alliance ) will chair the meeting.
Hearne said that the Lisbon Treaty will have very significant impacts on people’s lives in terms of the privatisation of public services, reducing democratic control and promoting the militarisation of Europe. It is really important therefore that people are informed of the issues, debate them out and get involved. This meeting in Aungier St is being organised to give people an opportunity to do this. Another debate is also set for Wednesday, 28th May in DIT, Rathmines Rd. Details to follow.

Campaigners for the retention of hospital services in the west are seeking to link their protest to the debate on the Lisbon Treaty referendum.
Last night in Roscommon, almost 600 people attended a protest meeting over the proposed downgrading of the county hospital there.
A motion calling for opposition to the treaty was passed by a clear majority.
Today a campaign is being launched to merge the support of other community hospital action committees in a united bid to oppose the treaty on 12 June.

The People Before Profit Alliance, speaking ahead of Fianna Fail’s launch of their Lisbon Campaign, call on the government to show the same degree of honesty as IBEC have on the Lisbon Treaty.
In a rare display of honesty IBEC exposed the neo-liberal underbelly of the Lisbon Treaty in their welcoming of the “new business opportunities” that will be opened up to Irish companies should Lisbon be ratified.
IBEC’s welcoming of the “increased opportunities for Irish business particularly in areas subject to increasing liberalisation such as health, education, transport, energy and the environment” confirm what No campaigners have long been arguing.
