Burton: Rejecting Fiscal Compact will have consequences for investment
Potential investors in Ireland will be left "perplexed and bewildered" if voters reject the EU Fiscal Compact in the referendum to be held on May 31, according to Social Protection Minister Joan Burton.
Speaking in the Dáil today, Minister Burton said part of our attractiveness to multinationals such as Apple - which today announced 500 jobs for Cork - is our position at the heart of Europe.
