Taoiseach, trust the people to make the right decision on Europe

DEAR Taoiseach and Tánaiste, You were elected to be different.

You have both promised us, fundamentally, a different style. The core of that promise was that we could always trust this government, just as the government would trust the people. Now more than ever you need to live up to that promise.

It’s all there, right at the start of your Programme for Government. In your “statement of common purpose” you say that you “will strive to ensure that every one of our citizens has an effective right … to contribute to the economic, social and cultural life of the nation.”
