3. The fiscal treaty “won’t solve all of Ireland’s problems - not by a long shot,” Fine Gael referendum campaign director Simon Coveney has admitted.

But the Agriculture Minister insisted it would be a “step in the right direction” and ensure “that no future government will be able to spend the people’s money recklessly and drive this country back onto the rocks again”.

His comments came as the latest opinion poll indicated that the yes side’s lead in the campaign had narrowed ahead of the May 31 vote.

The Sunday Business Post-Red C poll showed 47% of likely voters saying they would vote yes, 35% no, and 18% undecided.

Last month, those figures stood at 49% yes, 33% no, and 18% undecided.

It means the yes side’s lead has reduced by four points in recent weeks, with a sizeable chunk of the electorate still to make up their minds.

Mr Coveney was speaking at a joint weekend press conference in Dublin with his Cabinet colleague, Social Protection Minister Joan Burton, who is directing Labour’s campaign.

Ms Burton said it would be “exceptionally foolish” for people to vote no, as it would close off access to the EU’s future bailout fund, the European Stability Mechanism (ESM).
