Summary edit

Description

The Irish European Fiscal Compact referendum is planned to be held on 31 May 2012. If passed it will allow Ireland to ratify the European Fiscal Compact by amending its constitution.

The decision to hold a referendum on the Fiscal Compact was made by the Irish government following advice from the Attorney General and was announced by Taoiseach Enda Kenny on 28 February 2012 prior to the signing ceremony.

The referendum was welcomed by opposition parties, with Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams promising to lead a "strong anti-treaty campaign". On 29 February 2012, Éamon Ó Cuív resigned as Fianna Fáil's Deputy leader and Communications spokesperson due to dissatisfaction with his party's position on the referendum.

The bill paving the way for the referendum was published on 28 March 2012. It is officially entitled the Thirtieth Amendment of the Constitution (Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union) Bill 2012, and proposes to insert a new clause in Article 29 of the Constitution.
