Libertas is launching a billboard highlighting Article 48 of the Treaty, which will allow significant changes to be made to the way the EU is run, without the need for further referenda in Ireland or elsewhere. Libertas founder, Declan Ganley, this morning pledged that the organisation would fundraise extensively for the campaign and called on the Government to name the date for the forthcoming referendum on the Treaty as soon as possible.
