Referendum to be held on European fiscal compact

The Government is to put the revised European Union fiscal compact treaty which tightens controls on member states’ budgetary decisions to a referendum,  Taoiseach Enda Kenny told the Dáil this afternoon.

The compact, agreed at special EU summit last month, proposes tough new budgetary discipline on each euro zone state, including near-zero public deficits. Twenty-five of the European Union’s 27 countries have signed up to the new treaty, with only Britain and the Czech Republic opposed.

E não adianta dizer que a afluência é baixa e que um referendo custa dinheiro. Na Irlanda ele também não abunda só que há outras formas de viver a democracia.
