• Why I'm voting yes

  Both the Yes and the No sides are desperately exaggerating the effects of the Lisbon treaty on Ireland. In reality, the Lisbon treaty will have very little effect, good or bad, on this country. Its principle areas of reform are either irrelevant to us (Space exploration) or else we have secured opt outs (Justice).
  
  However, the Lisbon treaty will have an enormous impact on the lives of millions -not in Ireland, but in the Balkans and other countries which aspire to join the Union. This treaty is the vehicle for the future accession of countries, many of which are struggling, post-conflict societies. They deserve our support, and it is for their sakes that I am going to vote Yes.

• "Tighe impertinent" -Phoenix (14th Aug 2009)

  PASTED
  
  DENIS O’BRIEN’S MEDIA WARS
  
  SUNDAY TIMES Irish editor Frank
  Fitzgibbon has felt compelled to write
  to The Irish Times twice in the last few
  months to defend his editorial policy.
  The first time was when his columnist
  Sarah Carey defected to the IT and told
  a tale of positively Stalinist proportions
  about how she had been disbarred from
  writing an opinion piece supporting a
  Yes vote in last year’s Lisbon Treaty
  referendum. The latest episode is far, far
  more serious, however, and involves
  Denis O’Brien’s running battle with the
  Moriarty Tribunal.
  Following O’Brien’s multi-pronged
  attack on the tribunal recently, a letter in the
  IT from a Tommy Tighe pointed out that the
  ST had painted O’Brien as “some sort of
  hero”. Tighe also pointed out that the ST had
  devoted a full page spread on the enormous
  costs of the tribunal and had also reported
  on another of O’Brien’s line on how to deal
  with INM’s current troubles (in which he is
  now the main player), all in the same
  edition. Fitzgibbon responded promptly,
  denying that the paper was in awe of
  O’Brien and arguing, strangely, that
  O’Brien’s “advertisement criticizing the
  Moriarty Tribunal, the one featuring
  chocolates, was based on facts first revealed
  in the ST”.
  Last Sunday, the ST gave the latest
  chapter in the O’Brien/Moriarty battle a big
  splash on the front page and devoted more
  space to O’Brien’s side of the argument than
  any other newspaper that day despite the
  correspondence being sent to the four
  broadsheet Sunday papers. The Sunday
  Independent did not make any mention of
  the story at all — which may come to be
  seen as a grave tactical error by editor
  Anguish Fanning at some stage in the future.
  The trouble for Fitzgibbon is that
  rumours swept the media grapevine in the
  last fortnight about him being head hunted
  by O’Brien to become editor at the Sindo.
  Fitzgibbon goes back a long way with
  O’Brien’s local spin doctor, James
  Morrissey — the two were founder
  members of the Sunday Business Post —
  and Morrissey is DOB’s chief adviser on
  editorial matters at INM.
  Changes will be implemented at the INM
  titles but the financial crisis for the group is
  so serious that the editorial purges have been
  put on the back burner. Fitzgibbon is going
  nowhere in the immediate future but in the
  mean time his critics have been putting it
  about that he is about to jump ship for the
  Sindo, hardly an inspired move given the
  current financial turmoil.
  This makes it difficult for Fitzgibbon in
  his editorial judgment and explains the testy
  letter to the IT which challenged not only
  Tighe’s impertinence but even the IT’s
  decision to publish the letter.
  Meanwhile, bloodcurdling threats of
  future salvoes from O’Brien are emanating
  from DOB’s camp with promises that when
  the summer is over there will be further
  assaults — in the media and in the courts —
  against Moriarty.
