THE independent referendum commission will meet tomorrow to discuss not only its own recent information campaign but the methods used by others, including the Government, in recent weeks.

Previous no votes have resulted in government departments commissioning their own research into why voters reject an amendment. This occurred following the rejection of Lisbon, as well as last year’s Oireachtas inquiries poll.
