Irish Government Goes All Out On Nice 'Yes' Campaign
With less than ten days to go until the referendum on the Nice Treaty in Ireland,
the government and other pro-Nice organisations have pulled out all the stops
in a bid to win the public's support. There were suggestions following last year's rejection of the pro-enlargement
treaty in the Republic that the 'Yes' campaign had been somewhat lacklustre.
However, this time around the government is taking no chances, according to
a recent report in the Irish Times, which revealed this week that while spending
on the 'Yes' campaign has amounted to approximately 1.68 million euros, the
'No' campaigners only have around 170,000 euros at their disposal. The Times report revealed that a great deal of the pro-Nice campaign funding
has been provided by the political parties, which have, for the most part, put
aside their political differences in the interests of a positive outcome. Other
bodies which have contributed to the 'Yes' campaign, according to the Irish
Times, include the Irish Farmers Association, and the Dublin International Financial
Services Centre. .
