Is the Government meant to put information out just for the sake of it?

It is important to note that the High Court found the material used in the commission?s leaflet was neutral, balanced and had the primary aim of informing the public about the forthcoming referendum. We all know that while doctors differ, patients die. With no disrespect to the Judiciary but while judges differ, Governments are charged with that task. We must examine the McKenna judgment, make sure everyone understands what it is about and get a judgment longer than 25 pages.

The previous referendum failed. A survey on why it failed showed that 60% of it was due to lack of information and if one does not know, one votes, "No". I rest my case.
