Some people in Ireland were unsure of the contents of the Treaty; others were concerned about abortion being forced on a Member State, about neutrality, about the loss of the Commissioner and about the potential for the country to lose control over its own direct taxation policy.
Unele persoane din Irlanda nu erau sigure de conţinutul Tratatului; altele erau îngrijorate de impunerea avortul unor state membre, de neutralitate, de pierderea unui comisar şi de posibilitatea ca ţara să piardă controlul asupra propriei politici de impozitare directă.
