The only other countries where it went to a public vote to my knowledge were France and the Netherlands. Both rejected it.

The very fact that EU members were not allowed to vote on something which directly affects them is an absoloute disgrace. Why do we continue to wank ourselevs off as being free peoples in a democracy? We are not! in all likelyhood, the bastards in the dail are going to get there way this time.

If people would look at the big issues and read the damn thing, instead of worrying about how many notes are in there wallets. You want to beat the recession? Change your damn ways. Most Irish people are far too arrogant. We bitch and moan about the economy but make virtually no changes to our lifestyle. Why listen to Fianna Fail now? Why let Nicholas Sarkozy and the others, the big wigs who want the treaty because it works to THERE globalised advantage, win?

People before profit!
