Bruton urges voters to focus on future of investment and jobs

FORMER Fine Gael leader John Bruton yesterday urged people to focus on their families’ interests and the future of investment in the country when they consider how to vote on the Nice Treaty.

He also echoed calls for voters not to reject the Treaty in a bid to vent their anger at the Government’s cutbacks and the Flood Tribunal revelations.

Speaking in Limerick, Mr Bruton said a Yes vote was essential for Ireland’s standing and influence in the EU. In voting on the Treaty issue, people will be voting for themselves and their family interests, and for securing peace and jobs for young people, he said.
