Mar atá a fhios ag gach duine, bhí díospóireacht an-leathan anseo inné ar an gconradh fioscach agus fáiltím roimhe sin. Fuaireamar deis cuid des na hargóintí a chlos ar gach taobh den díóspóireacht agus bhí díospóireacht an-mhaith ann. Tá seasamh na gceardchumann ar an reifreann spéisiúil, chomh maith leis an chaoi a bhfuil níos mó grúpaí, de réir a chéile, ag teacht amach i gcoinne an reifrinn.

Yesterday's debate on the legislation to facilitate the holding of the referendum on the fiscal treaty was useful and proactive. It became heated from time to time, but it was was very informative on both sides of the argument. More and more groups are coming out publicly in opposition to the treaty. In particular, I commend Mandate, UNITE and the Technical, Engineering and Electrical Union, TEEU, for their call for a "No" vote. SIPTU, meanwhile, has released a statement indicating that it will consider advising its members to support the treaty in the event of an undertaking from the Government to implement a stimulus programme.
