Bruton retracts as Coveney confirms no second treaty vote
Fine Gael's Director of Elections and the Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has confirmed that "under no circumstances" will there be a second vote on the EU Fiscal Treaty, if Irish voters reject it on May 31.
He made the clarification after the Jobs Minister Richard Bruton this evening said Ireland may have no option but to vote on the treaty for a second time, if the electorate reject it in two weeks' time.
