-----the World Trade Organisation talks or lower wages. All those issues are dealt with in the articles referred to on the posters but I refer to one of the myths peddled in the previous debate. I call it a myth because I knew it to be a lie on the basis of France's experience. It is that a "No" vote in the Lisbon treaty would result in foreign direct investment being withdrawn from Ireland. The IDA has come out and said that in 2008 foreign direct investment increased by 14%.
