Anti-treaty group Libertas has hired US election campaigner Joe Trippi to head its June European election campaign, the Irish Times reports. Mr Trippi organised Democrat Howard Dean's 2004 campaign. Libertas leader Declan Ganley announced the move at the launch of his party's German platform Monday.
