Our Pat Cox 'Interview'

We include these two telephone calls, just to illustrate that we did try to get an interview with a Pro-Lisbon Treaty speaker and - for several days - believed that we had gotten one.

We understand that Pat Cox was called away minutes before the pre-arranged call, but upload this as evidence that we really tried hard to put together a YES show for our listeners.

Audio-only version.

The FARMERS FOR NO organisation has 50 members who believe the Lisbon treaty puts the future of Irish farming in jeopardy. They say it will weaken the voice of Irish farmers in the EU and have criticised the IFA for advocating a 'yes' vote.
The group also says it has concerns about the EU's stance in WTO negotiations, as well as the future of farm subsidies under the Common Agriculture Policy.
