The wording for the referendum on the fiscal stability treaty will be strictly technical and factual, a Government source has told RTÉ News.
The source said the referendum will only relate to amending the Irish Constitution to allow the State to ratify the treaty.
It is understood the wording of the referendum will not, therefore, pose a broader question about membership of the euro.
Earlier, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said the forthcoming referendum on the EU fiscal treaty will be about whether voters want to remain part of the European process into the future.
In an answer in Irish to reporters earlier, the Taoiseach said: "The public will be focusing on the question which will be on the ballot paper - do they wish to be members of Europe, the euro and the eurozone from now on, or do they wish not to be?"
Mr Kenny and 24 other European Union leaders signed the European Fiscal Stability Treaty in Brussels this morning.
The treaty has been signed by Ireland, subject to it being ratified by the electorate in the upcoming referendum.
The Taoiseach said that there would be a sub-committee of the Oireachtas set-up to pave the way for the referendum, as was done for the Lisbon Treaty.
He said that the European agenda had been changed from just one of fiscal discipline to one of jobs and growth.
Mr Kenny denied claims by anti-treaty campaigners that the treaty would bind the economy to austerity on a permanent basis.
"Of course these are challenging times, but the people also recognise that the gap in the public finances will not rectify itself and that problem won't go away," he said.
"When we have that dealt with, we will have more money to spend on education, on front line services, on hospitals."
When asked if concessions on the Anglo promissory notes would help the Government's campaign, he said, "of course you could outline a thousand issues and that if you had a resolution on these it would be helpful, but all of these things are separate."
Sinn Féin President Gerry Adams has meanwhile called for a rejection of the treaty in the referendum.
Speaking in Castlebar, Mr Adams said that in signing the treaty the Taoiseach wants to hand significant new powers over to the European Court of Justice and the European Commission.
He said Mr Kenny is allowing these institutions to impose economic policies on democratically elected governments and to impose heavy fines where they believe these policies have not been adhered to.
Summit focuses on jobs, economy
The treaty was signed at the two-day summit of European leaders which focused on boosting job creation and economic growth.
After two years of meetings, which inevitably were given the tag crisis summit, the March meeting of EU leaders was marked by the absence of drama.
European Council President Herman van Rompuy was given a new term in office and Serbia was granted EU candidate status, just before next month's 20th anniversary of the Balkan war.
However, the meeting took place against the backdrop of new statistics that show unemployment in the 17-member eurozone is the highest level, at 10.7%, since monetary union was launched.
British Prime Minister David Cameron argued that stimulus ideas, which Ireland and ten other states proposed, were not given adequate priority.
At a separate meeting, eurozone finance ministers gave provisional approval to a second bailout for Greece.
However, the final approval depends on private creditors giving consent for their losses next week.
