Minister of State for Europe Paschal Donohoe will sound a warning today about the negative consequences of a British withdrawal from the EU.
As British debate intensifies over the in/out referendum on EU membership promised by prime minister David Cameron, Mr Donohoe will say it is far better for Ireland and Britain to work together as equals within the EU framework.
