The FFII people who were there thought the vote against was from him.
But no official record of names and votes was taken -- so we are not
conclusively sure.
My understanding is that the committee basically got pretty disappointed
and hostile with Charlie McCreevy -- so Crowley's vote can possibly be
seen as a Fianna Fail solidarity vote with the Commissioner.
But that assumes we've identified him correctly as the MEP who voted
against.
