THE Government yesterday warned of the possible economic consequences if the dilemma posed by the rejection of the Lisbon treaty is not resolved and of the “dangers” to the country’s prosperity if Ireland is left on the margins of Europe.

IRELAND will get “damn all goodwill” from other EU member states if the Lisbon Treaty is rejected in Thursday’s referendum warns former Taoiseach, Dr Garret FitzGerald said.

IRELAND’S commitment to the world’s poor has long been a source of national pride and international respect.

An alliance of non-governmental organisations and prominent individuals has launched a major campaign for a “yes” vote in the Nice Treaty referendum.
