How are you going to vote on the Lisbon Treaty? It has to be the question of the moment.
RTE Radio 1's Drivetime programme is giving a prize to anyone who can explain the Treaty in 50 words.
Garret Fitzgerald in his column in Saturday's Irish Times tells his readers that we will become the pariahs of the EU if we vote No.
Europe has been good for Ireland but many of the No people don't dispute that. Joe Higgins is campaigning for a No vote and he seems a good man. But there is wide 'fanatical' grouping, which is also campaigning for a No vote.
The three main political parties have joined forces to call for a Yes vote.
The development agencies seem to be favouring a Yes vote.
How much of our sovereignty will we be surrendering to the EU and is that a bad thing?
Some of the scare stories doing the rounds are just that and have no substance to them.
Have the Irish bishops issued any sort of position paper on the Treaty?
All helpful advice most welcome on this blog.
