Do not be scared into yes vote: Adams

Gerry Adams has compared the coalition’s warning for a yes vote in the fiscal treaty to the fear instilled in society by British rule or by the domination of the Church.

The Sinn Féin president also insisted a rejection of this week’s referendum would still allow Ireland to access the EU’s future bailout fund, according to its mandate.

Closing the party’s ard fheis in Killarney, Co Kerry, Mr Adams called for a united Ireland with one economy and one government, which would save financial resources. He said Irish people were sick of fear, forced emigration, and new stealth taxes.
