Justin Trudeau wants to prorogue Parliament to buy time before the election. Voters will punish him for it, says Prof James Allan, but it's a mistake he must be allowed to make without activist judges getting in the way.

The Civil and Public Service Union and The Lisbon Treaty Referendum

category national | eu | press release author Saturday May 10, 2008 18:48author by CPSUerauthor address Dungarvan, Co. Waterford Report this post to the editors

The Civil and Public Service Union and The Lisbon Treaty Referendum

In recent days, on various media outlets, the General Secretary of the Civil, Public and services Union, Mr. Blair Horan, has spoken and been quoted in support of the Lisbon Treaty.

On RTE’s Morning Ireland programme on Tuesday, 6th May there was an item broadcast between General Secretary Designate of the TEEU, Mr. Eamon Devoy and Mr. Horan on the treaty where it was reported that the TEEU have called for a NO vote and the CPSU were cited as the union calling for a YES vote from its members.

On the same Tuesday evening on Today FM’s The Last Word show Mr. Horan again advocated a ‘YES’ vote.

In the expressing of his own personal viewpoint or indeed that of the Alliance For Europe group to which he is affiliated, Mr. Horan may have given the impression that the CPSU, as a union affiliated to the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, were supporting the ‘YES’ campaign in the forthcoming referendum.

This position is factually incorrect.

General Secretary Blair Horan reasoned in a personal capacity and was not representing CPSU policy.

The Executive Committee of the CPSU have yet to come to a decision on the union’s position in relation to the Lisbon Treaty.

Indeed a debate on the treaty for CPSU members is currently being scheduled through Mr. Horan’s office.

Should you require any further information on this press release, contact the undersigned.
