    Can someone correct me on this, I'm not quite sure how it works.

    As I understand it, Libertas arranged themselves formally as a recognised political party to contest the European elections - what are the implications now for any potential future activity against Lisbon 2?

    I think Ganley said that should he not get elected he would not lead a no campaign but wouldn't rule himself out campaigning in a broad No alliance.

    Having MEP's elected (think libertas might get only 1 in france) doesn't mean they can't campaign for a no to lisbon 2. Many euro MEPs advocate a no vote. UKIP in England being an example.

    Thanks; I suppose the question is in regard to my own ignorance of the law - if there are any conditions limiting campaigning action in Ireland specifically in light of their results at the polls

    no, any party can campaign, it's not conditional on the amount of elected representatives they have.
