While there are many reasons that foreign investors should choose Ireland as a location for their company, by far the most significant is our close relations with our fellow EU members. Voting "No" to the Treaty of Nice would show that this image of Ireland is false. It would send out the message that we wish to marginalise ourselves from the rest of Europe. What company wishing to target the European market would want to locate in a country that has shown itself to be against the very ideal of the EU, a country that has hampered the progress of the EU?
