TAOISEACH ENDA KENNY has said that he expects the Attorney General to advise the government on the necessity or not for a referendum on the EU fiscal compact treaty “in two to three weeks”.

Speaking in the Dáil this week, Kenny said that while he had not pressurised Attorney General Marie Whelan he expected to be presented with her guidance shortly.

He said that he will subsequently inform the Oireachtas and the country of her decision.
