A meeting in Rossaveal last evening to discuss the fiscal treaty referendum has heard that most people in Connemara will vote NO.

Up to 80 people including several Galway West public representatives such as Deputies Eamon O Cuív, Sean Kyne, Senator Trevor O' Clochartaigh and local area councillors attended the meeting.

The Connemara campaign group "Glór na Tuaithe" organised the event which also discussed issues such as septic tank and water charges as well as the ongoing EU turf cutting restrictions.

Spokesperson Padraig O' Conghaile says in a show of hands- everyone EXCEPT Deputy Sean Kyne voted against the fiscal treaty.

Deputy Eamon O' Cuív abstained from the vote.
