It will be a sad day for European democracy when Ireland votes yes this week. I never get why the Irish allow their democracy to be treated like this - if you vote something down the verdict should be respected. The practice of running referenda again till the people vote the way they're told shouldn't be rewarded.



Ireland did get concessions beforehand, so it's a slightly different treaty.

Could this backfire on the Irish PM? During the address to the UN of the President of Iran, the cameras panned across the people watching and showed a person in the Irish delegation's area and no one in the UK's area. Could the opposition say this shows that Ireland supports Iran?

People don't vote on those issues.

Irish neutrality, basically. They even allowed Soviet planes bound for Cuba to refuel at Shannon in 1962.
