It's your right to vote, do it (2)

Just to balance the debate, I think there are very good reasons for voting No, writes Orla Ní Néill, chief among them that the strategy in Europe of dealing with the financial crisis has not worked and is not working, and all this Treaty does is promise us more of the same.

There is absolutely no reason why Irish taxpayers have had to shoulder the burden of a failed investment strategy undertaken by foreign bondholders. I don't think our government have played hardball in Europe but have rolled over. This view is shared by many eminent economists and other people who work with the most marginalised communities in this and other countries and whose values I share.

And yes everyone, go out and vote!
