IBEC urges Yes vote in €500,000 Nice campaign

EMPLOYERS' group IBEC launched a €500,000 publicity campaign yesterday urging a Yes vote in the Nice Treaty.

IBEC said it believed a No vote would create a negative impression of Ireland and discourage inward investment. IBEC said an enlarged Europe would give Ireland access to more than 500 million people.

But former Attorney General John Rogers said the doomsday predictions about job losses and investment were totally unsustainable.
