Sinn Fein/Greens slam Nice wording

The Green Party and Sinn Fein have criticised the Government’s proposed wording for a referendum bid to reverse last year’s rejection of the Nice Treaty in a nationwide poll.

The Green’s John Gormley claimed there had been ‘‘no major adjustment’’ in the new terms for the plebiscite, which, he said, amounted to evidence of ‘‘a real democratic deficit in Europe’’.
