lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, thank you for this opportunity. I believe that putting Mr Juncker in this position completely and utterly ignores the results of the European elections. This was meant to be a community; it is no longer a community. I was a supporter of the European Union, but since we had bank debt socialised and put on our shoulders to the tune of EUR 70 billion, the Irish people have woken up to the fact that this Union is no longer a Union of the people. It is a Union for bankers and big business, but certainly not for the smaller person. As I said, I was a supporter of the European Union, but no more. When the Act of Union between Britain and Ireland took place, Lord Byron said the following: ‘There is only one relationship between a large state and small state, and that is the relationship between a boa constrictor and its prey’. I did not think I would ever come in here and say that, but sadly this Union has proven that we are for kicking, not for anything else so it seems....."@en1
