After weeks of arguments and counter-arguments, and the delivery of more information than ever before, the decision on the stability treaty is now in your hands. This is your choice and no one else’s and I am urging everybody to participate in making this decision.
I am asking the Irish people to see this decision as a positive step. To draw on the spirit with which we have together started our recovery over the last couple of years…
