Dooley throws dictators jibe at anti-Lisbon activisits

Anti-Lisbon activist group Coir were heckled by Clare Fianna Fail TD Timmy Dooley in Dail Eireann last evening.

Coir's Richard Greene and Niamh Ui Bhroinn had just finished delivering their speech to the cross-party talking-shop on how to solve the Lisbon dilemma.

"You are dictators!" yelled Mounshannon TD Timmy Dooley. According to the Irish Independent, for a moment it looked as if a punch would be thrown at the Clare TD by one of Coir's enraged entourage as they departed.

Coir's Richard Greene had previously launched a tirade against the Oireachtas committee members, ranting about their "brazen effrontery and blatant denial of democracy" and warning that "suppressing the sovereign will of the people in such a fashion would be an act of treason, the likes of which has not been seen since the Act of Union".
