Independent candidate Catherine Connolly has defended her decision to vote “no” to the Lisbon and Nice treaties.
Her comments came after her opponent, Fine Gael’s Heather Humphreys, accused Ms Connolly of voting against “every European treaty” during an RTÉ presidential debate on Sunday, which Ms Connolly said was “absolutely wrong”.
