Commissioner: Referendum yes vote about 'signalling that Ireland is back in business'

European Commissioner for Research, Innovation and Science Máire Geoghegan-Quinn has called for a 'yes' vote in the upcoming referendum on the EU Fiscal Compact.

"This vote is as much about signalling that Ireland is back in business at the heart of the eurozone as it is about endorsing the familiar details of good housekeeping and prudent safety nets contained within the text itself," Commissioner Geoghegan-Quinn said.
