AfrI (Action From Ireland) opened its campaign for a No vote in the Nice Treaty referendum yesterday. AfrI does not object to the treaty in its entirety, but opposes the proposed establishment of the Rapid Reaction Force. AfrI claims that Ireland's involvement, comprising an initial 850 soldiers, would compromise the State's neutrality.
The event took place outside the GPO in O'Connell Street, Dublin, where the actor Donal O'Kelly read a spoof proclamation from the "Irish Provincial Government of the US-European Empire".
