lpv:spoken text	"Is the Commission concerned that its pressure on Ireland and Ireland's Finance Minister may influence the forthcoming referendum on the Nice Treaty? I feel that the Commission should be pulling back just in case there might be bad publicity. What is the point of the citizens of Ireland electing a government if its Finance Minister is not allowed to make his own choice? What is the point in us having a government? How far will the EU go in putting pressure on Ireland in relation to public spending, because services in Ireland are in an appalling situation? If we follow EU lines, it will make things even worse. We also have to look at EU economic policy and its impact on Ireland in relation to interest rates, over which we no longer have any control. It is undemocratic to try to decide the economic policy for an individual Member State considering that it is the citizens in that Member State who elect the government to do that."@en1
