Dear Editor
The Progressive Democrats has always applauded people who work hard and achieve success. In many ways our central purpose has been about trying to create an environment where our people can reach their potential.

One man who has achieved great success is Declan Ganley. He has vast business interests, much of it abroad. He's a man who will prosper irrespective of the result of the Lisbon Treaty Referendum.

But the question is how will Ireland prosper in the event of a No vote.

In my view, with economic uncertainty now a feature around the world, this is not the time for Ireland to isolate itself from its position of influence in the European Union.

Declan Ganley, one Irish businessman, is calling for a 'No' Vote.

But let us not forget that the Irish Congress of Trade Unions, which represents hundreds of thousands or workers, is calling for a 'Yes' vote.

The employer's organisation IBEC and the Small Firms Association are also calling for a 'Yes' vote because they believe it to be in the best interests of Irish workers and business people.

Who do I believe? No contest.

Senator Ciaran Cannon
