‘No’ lobby seeks Dáil statement on EU

NO to Nice parties are continuing to press for a Dáil declaration in support of enlargement of the European Union ahead of next week’s referendum.

The European Commission and the Government denied reports earlier this week that the Dáil would be asked to officially come out in favour of enlargement if the Nice Treaty was rejected again.

Tánaiste Mary Harney also rejected the idea, saying it would flout the will of the people in the referendum.
