Cox reiterates call for 'yes' to Nice

The President of the European Parliament Pat Cox has reiterated his call to the Irish to vote yes in the Nice Referendum.

Speaking at the Annual MaGill Summer School in Glenties, Co Donegal last night, Mr Cox said that the referendum was a wake-up call to the Irish public.

"It was a message to Irish politics - and I include myself in that - to say 'don’t take us for granted, convince us that we must do this thing'," said Mr Cox.
