IRSP: No Vote on Nice Via NY Transfer News * All the News That Doesn't Fit source - IRSP Irish Republican Socialist Party Press Statement 25 May 2001 IRSP Call for 'No' Vote The Irish Republican Socialist Party have called for a strong 'No Vote' in the run up to June 7th, Nice Treaty Referendum. IRSP Spokesperson, Mr. Gerry Burns said, "Ratification of this Treaty will abolish entirely any semblance of neutrality once held by the 26 county administration. The IRSP call for the electorate to vote against ratification for this reason and others. "Why do the mandarins in Strasbourg want to enlarge the EU? The Taoiseach and others such as Jim Mitchell in Fine Gael are openly advising people to vote 'Yes' because they say 'it will provide Ireland with access to more markets for her exports' thus being good for jobs, but will this prove the reality? "The IRSP maintain that any form of European enlargement has more to do with providing 'big business' across the EU with access to cheap labour sources in Eastern Europe than any attempt to find new markets that would benefit the European working class. Concluding, IRSP spokesperson Mr Burns said, "On the contrary, our party calls on the Irish electorate to reject this attempt to exploit our fellow peoples in Eastern Europe. Ratification of this treaty would serve only to further enslave our fellow Eastern Europeans in the lottery of capitalism, but also threaten jobs in multinationals based in Ireland, who would eventually find some excuse to leave Ireland in favour of a location in Eastern Europe." Say 'No' to extend exploitation! Say 'No' to abolishment of neutrality! Republican Socialist Publicity Bureau IRSP Press Office 4 Cavendish Row, 392 Falls Road, Belfast, Dublin 1, Ireland.
