O’ Flynn encourages all to get out and Vote

Cork City Councillor Kenneth O’Flynn is encouraging all citizens to make sure they vote on the upcoming referendum on the European stability Treaty. The referendum on the European Union Fiscal compact Treaty will take place on the 31st of May.
Cllr O’ Flynn stated ‘Whether you are voting yes or no I am encouraging all voters to use there democratic right and get out and vote on the 31st of May.
This referendum will be one of the most important in the country’s history and it is vital that voters make sure they have their say.
‘I will be personally mounting a campaign in support of the treaty. I believe that the future of Euro is at stake and a No vote would see further uncertainty spread across the Euro zone. I recognise the need for greater economic stability and hope that by ratifying this treaty we will see the necessary fiscal budgetary measures introduced that will prevent the reoccurrence of any further debt crisis’.

Cllr O’ Flynn reiterated the importance of those who are currently not registered to vote of getting on the supplement register.
‘I would also like to remind all those entitled to vote that if you are not yet registered there is still time to be included on the supplementary register. The deadline for this is the 14th of May. Anybody who wishes to avail of this can make an application to their local authority. Application forms are available from the registration authority or can alternatively be downloaded at checktheregister.ie’
However Cllr Flynn did criticise the government for the Treaty being held on a week day.

‘Having the Treaty on Thursday will mean a whole group of people will be disenfranchised. Students as well as people working or living away from home will find it very difficult to get out and vote.’
