With less than two days to go until Ireland goes to the polls in the Fiscal Treaty referendum, all sides of the debate are working to get their points across.

With less than two days to go until Ireland goes to the polls in the Fiscal Treaty referendum, all sides of the debate are working to get their points across.

Several campaign groups have organised their final media events for today, with a broadcast moratorium on referendum content due to kick in tomorrow afternoon.

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, who is calling for a 'yes' vote, is appealing for people to realise that casting their vote will not have any impact on Ireland's bank debt, or its bondholders.

On the other side of the debate, businessman and Libertas founder Declan Ganley has said Ireland has until the end of the year to ratify the treaty.

He said Ireland should choose not to approve the treaty in the meantime.
