Heaney, The Edge for E.U. treaty
All-everything Irish poet Seamus Heaney and All-reverb U2 guitarist The Edge are among many who are attempting to persuade the Irish government to reverse a 2008 decision to reject a new European Union governing agreement, reports Bloomberg.
The Lisbon Treaty, which will be revisited Oct. 2, would give the European Parliament greater say in policymaking, according to Bloomberg. And Irish Times poll published last week suggests that supporters of the treaty lead opponents by 48 percent to 33 percent.
Other supporters include the Irish soccer and rugby teams, as well as Ryanair CEO Michael O’Leary.
This just in: The Edge likes to use delay on his guitar.
