Paul Muldoon has added his name to an impressive array of the Great and the Good from Northern Ireland who have done sterling cross-community work and whose letter appealing for a Yes vote appeared in the Irish Times at the weekend.
In it they say:

Continued membership at the heart of the European Union will help us, North and South, to grow together and to face in partnership the huge economic, social and environmental challenges of the years ahead. This is enabled by our common membership of the European Union and enhanced by the new possibilities offered by the Lisbon Treaty.

A second No would bring Ireland’s continued membership of the Union into unknown territory. It would further damage Ireland’s reputation and its economic prospects, with negative knock-on effects for the North’s economy.

Update: While Paul Muldoon was not a signatory to this letter, he asked that his name be associated with these calls for a Yes vote.
