17th November, 2008

Libertas Chairman Declan Ganley will appear before the Joint Oireachtas Committee on Ireland’s Future in Europe tomorrow at 10 am in Committee Room 4 of Leinster House Committee members will have the opportunity to question Mr Ganley regarding his views on Ireland’s Future in Europe and how he believes Ireland’s relationship with Europe should progress. Chair of the Joint Oireachtas Sub-Committee on Ireland’s Future in Europe, Senator Pashcal Donohoe said;

“As someone who has played a high profile role in the recent debate about Ireland’s role in Europe, tomorrow’s exchange will provide an extremely good opportunity for Oireachtas members to further consider Mr Ganley’s and his organisation’s opinions in this area.”

“It is important that the sub-committee hears submissions from all sides of the argument before it compiles its final report toward the end of next week.”
