Minimum wage claims the ‘biggest lies’ of campaign

CLAIMS the minimum wage will be slashed if the Lisbon Treaty is passed have been branded the “biggest lies” of the campaign by Foreign Minister Micheál Martin.

The attack came during a stormy debate ahead of the repeat referendum in which leading Yes and No campaigners traded insults and allegations.

The event, held in the window of Dublin department store Arnotts, saw the minister launch an all-out attack on anti-treaty campaigners, who he accused of trying to scare voters into the No camp.
