This referendum offers another choice to the people of Ireland. This is a democracy and people have a choice to vote "No". I hope that will not happen and that people will respond differently to the referendum this time. I hope the voters will not be fooled by the type of campaigners who do not have the responsibility to be honest in their statements about the "No" campaign, the type of people who encourage people to vote "No" as a sign of dissatisfaction with the Government. I ask people not to use the Nice referendum as a stick with which to beat the Government. That is not the purpose of the referendum. The purpose of the referendum is to make a decision on the continued progression of our country and how we see our future in terms of education for our children, social policy and economic growth. Our agriculture and fisheries industries are dependent on our decision and anxiously await the results of the Nice referendum. Europe anxiously awaits the result of the Nice referendum. A "No" vote should be a vote of disagreement in principle with the treaty but should not be used as a stick with which to beat the Government.
