Poll: Do you think your voice as an EU citizen counts?

It’s the European Year of the Citizen – do you think that your voice is heard by Europe?

THE COLLEGE OF Commissioners arrived in Ireland yesterday for talks with the Irish Government about its proposed programme for its presidency for the Council of the European Union.

As it is the European Year of the Citizen, people were given the opportunity to take part in the first ‘Citizens’ Dialogue’ in Dublin on the day. A number of these events will take place throughout the EU this year.

At the talk, 200 people who had applied to take part posed questions to José Manuel Barroso, Taoiseach Enda Kenny and others.

With Ireland’s EU presidency taking place, and such initiatives launched to improve dialogue between citizens and EU leaders, we ask:

Do you think that your voice as an EU citizen counts?
