Vote yes to safeguard US investment, says IBEC

A lobby group of the country’s leading employers has urged a ‘yes’ vote for the Lisbon Reform Treaty to secure huge investment from US companies for Ireland.

The Irish Business and Employers Confederation (IBEC), which represents over 7,000 employers, including the largest American multinationals, said the treaty would safeguard investment in the country and would better position Europe and Ireland to win more US foreign direct investment in the future.
