Irish Finance Minister Michael Noonan said he’s confident voters will back the European fiscal pact and that the country is the only euro-area member that could secure public support for such a referendum.
“I am confident that we will win, but not complacent; we’ll keep campaigning till the end,” Noonan said at Bloomberg Link’s Ireland Economic Summit in Dublin today. “There isn’t a country of the 17 euro countries at present who could carry this in a referendum, there isn’t a single country bar Ireland. If we can carry this that will send a signal out to Europe.”
