Ireland was the only EU member state to hold a referendum to ratify the Treaty on Stability, Coordination and Governance in the Economic and Monetary Union (otherwise known as the Fiscal Compact Treaty) on 31 May 2012. It was passed by 60.3% to 39.7%. This briefing paper argues that the referendum debate is of wider interest to EU scholars as both sides articulated diverging policies for how Europe should respond to the financial crisis, in a possible precursor to future debates across the EU
