SIR – Talking about the second Irish attempt ‘to get it right’ on the Lisbon Treaty, this has emerged: Foreign Minister Micheál Martin recently made a misguided quip to a German newspaper, saying, in reference to the referendum, “democracies are complex”, adding, “would a dictatorship not be delightfully simple?”
Thanks for a highly-accurate description of the European Union, Mick!
