A vote for Lisbon is a vote for economic health

VOTERS should reflect on the benefits the EU has brought to Ireland over the past 35 years.

Each new EU treaty has been of a clear advantage to our country.

If Ireland had not ratified the Single European Act in 1986 and the Maastricht Treaty in 1992, there would not be a single currency or an internal market in Europe. More than 80% of all Irish people have confidence in the operation of the single market and as a result of our participation in the eurozone, our exporters have been able to sell into the markets of 14 other EU countries without fear of currency fluctuation.
