Good Europeans will say No

THE historical influence of Ireland and the Irish people across Europe and the rest of the world is well documented. As the 21st century gets underway, the people of Ireland stand on the threshold of a momentous decision.

By rejecting the Nice Treaty, they will ensure that democracy is given another lease of life across the European Union. No other European member state gave their citizens the chance to voice their opinions on ratification of the treaty.

Hopefully, the people of Ireland will not give up their constitutional right, which would effectively be the case with regard to further European decisions, should the Nice Treaty be ratified.
