IBEC launches campaign to support Lisbon Treaty

Monday, 7 April 2008

The employers group IBEC has launched its campaign for a 'yes' vote in the forthcoming referendum on the Lisbon Treaty.

The group says the treaty is vital to ensure growth in the Irish economy at an increasingly challenging time.

It says the document protects Ireland's interests and will encourage more foreign investment, thereby helping to create jobs.

IBEC also says the treaty will help support Irish exporters at a time when they are under pressure due to the weakness of the US dollar.
