Ahern Confirms Irish Referendum on Treaty
Written by Libertas   
Saturday, 23 June 2007
RTE Reports this morning that Irish Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern has confirmed that a referendum on the rehashed EU constitutional treaty will be held in Ireland “some time next year”. This may well prove one of the final opportunities for the citizens of a member state to reject this flawed formula in solidarity with the 80% of its fellow EU citizens who want, but have been denied, the right to a vote on it. It appears that only Denmark also plans to hold a plebicite on the issue, perhaps before Ireland, which means the Irish will come under the intense focus of all of Europe before the poll. They must reflect well and reject this treaty for the sake of their fellow Europeans and pave the way for a new dispensation to draft a sensible concise document which can ensure greater democratically accountability, efficient governance and a brave new vision for Europe.
