Great to see at last there is a balanced and objective consideration of this important issue. More generally, credit to the irisheconomy.ie for faciliting an unbiased debate on this topic free from the usual vested interests and ideological baggage. Keep up the good work!

@Vincent: What are you insinuating? That an academic conference could be biased??? That Generation Yes do not have vested interests other than the welfare of the Irish people??? That the irisheconomy.ie is not a paragon of objectivity and is part of the establisment consensus??? After the Irish Times and RTE, i think the irisheconomy.ie comes next in the impartiality stakes with reference to the coverage of the Lisbon Treaty. I have a funny feeling you must be a CIA agent!!!
