Taoisigh unite for Yes vote on Nice

TAOISEACH Bertie Ahern yesterday said he passionately believes other countries should be given the same chance Ireland had in joining the European Union 30 years ago.

“I passionately believe that what we’re doing is giving the same opportunity to other countries to improve as we did,” he said.

The Taoiseach’s comments came as all the main political parties and Yes to Nice organisations called on voters to turn out in large numbers for Saturday’s referendum.
