Company heads must support Nice, says IOD

A growing number of business chiefs are supporting the Government's push for a 'yes' vote in the upcoming Nice Treaty referendum.

The Institute of Directors is now urging company heads to use their influence to secure a positive result in three weeks.

President of the IOD, John Smyth, insists that Ireland should show its commitment to enlargement and progress in Europe.

He says that a yes vote would guarantee business for Irish companies and a strong market.
