´óÏó´«Ã½

is preparing to vote on the EU Treaty. Yvonne Murray is there for PM and will report tonight. She's sent these photos and words:

"Some campaign posters on a lamp post in Dublin. Everywhere there's a YES poster, there's one for the NO side too. Irish voters don't know who to believe.

This is a rally outside the GPO on Saturday. The GPO was the scene of the Easter Rising in 1916 and the NO camp are linking the struggle for Irish independence with the Lisbon Treaty - saying Ireland's hard-won sovereignty will be compromised.

Here we see people out enjoying the sunshine in Stephen's Green in Dublin. It's really warm and sunny here this week which makes a change from the rain..I asked some of them how they were planning to vote on Thursday. Most hadn't made up their minds."

What do voters in Britain think? There is a new opinion poll from the ´óÏó´«Ã½'s programme:

64% think there should be a referendum on the EU Treaty of Lisbon with 26% saying the decision should be made by Parliament. The results of the poll will be published on ´óÏó´«Ã½2's Daily Politics programme today at 12:00pm.

When asked how they would vote if the UK were to hold a referendum on the EU Treaty, 40% said against, 33% in favour with 27% saying they did not know.

The poll was conducted for ´óÏó´«Ã½2's Daily Politics programme by ComRes. They spoke to 1,010 voters between 6th and 8th June.
