I propose to take Questions Nos. 170 to 172, inclusive, 176 and 177 together.
I can confirm that I have met representatives and leaders of many of the social partners in the context of the Stability Treaty and the current referendum campaign. These have included representatives of the farming community as well as trade unions, business groups, women's groups and others. Both before and after the announcement of the date of the referendum on 27 March, I have participated in an extensive number of meetings related to the Stability Treaty. The Treaty and the referendum have also arisen in discussions I have had during meetings I have attended abroad in my capacity as Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The purpose of the government information campaign is to explain and inform the Stability Treaty. This week, delivery to all homes in Ireland of the government's second information leaflet on the Stability Treaty got underway. This complements the central element of the information, the distribution of the full Treaty text and short explanatory material; delivery of this concluded last week. Information material is also available online at www.stabilitytreaty.ie and is regularly added to and updated based on questions raised by the public. The public is being made aware of this through targeted advertising in the print, broadcast and online media and through use of social networking.
