Taoiseach Bertie Ahern tonight said ‘no to Nice’ campaigners are the same people who 30 years ago campaigned for no to the EEC.

Mr Ahern said these campaigners should learn the lesson of three decades ago and reconsider their position.

He said he remained confident the people of Ireland would ratify the Nice treaty this time around.

The Taoiseach also made a point of assuring people that the Nice treaty is about enlargement.
