APPENDIX
1. The Third Amendment of the Constitution Bill, 1971, proposes to add the subsection here following to Article 29.4 of the Constitution.
3° The State may become a member of the European Coal and Steel Community (established by Treaty signed at Paris on the 18th day of April, 1951), the European Economic Community (established by Treaty signed at Rome on the 25th day of March, 1957) and the European Atomic Energy Community (established by Treaty signed at Rome on the 25th day of March, 1957). No provision of this Constitution invalidates laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the State necessitated by the obligations of membership of the Communities or prevents laws enacted, acts done or measures adopted by the Communities, or institutions thereof, from having the force of law in the State.
The purpose of the proposal is to allow the State to become a member of the communities commonly known as the European Communities.
2. If you APPROVE of the State's becoming a member of the European Communities, mark X opposite the word YES on the ballot paper.
3. If you DO NOT APPROVE of the State's becoming a member of the European Communities, mark X opposite the word NO on the ballot paper.
4. A copy of the Bill can be inspected free of charge and purchased for two and a half pence at any Post Office.
