This treaty is about transparency and accountability, which Sinn Féin seems to be against. It is also about precluding Governments from engaging in the reckless type of behaviour and spending policies of the past. That is why I urge the Minister of State to ensure what the treaty stands for is outlined in clear, concise, layman's terms in the information leaflet being sent to every household. That is imperative to prevent fudge, which would allow opponents of the treaty to make hay.
