Oh - it looks like its going to be a yes according to early news on Sky News.

The
telegraph are also seeing this as a YES vote.

Any Irish ATS members have any views on this?

Personally I see this as bad news. It's going to usher in Tony Blair as EU President and pave the way for the UK.


Polls have now closed and, frankly, it doesn’t look good. Counts in Ireland are gloriously ramshackle affairs, and we won’t get any formal results until tomorrow. Nor are there any published exit polls. Still, the mood on the ground, and the early data on turnout per constituency, suggest that the Pro-Treaty Forces have carried the day.

If at first you don't succeed! If the Irish people vote "No" again then they are in for a world of hurt....... until they change their minds, or the EU masters decide to change the rules to allow them to ignore an Irish vote completely.

Current figures put the YES vote at 60%.

Looks like YES it is.

According to Sky News, it’s already won!


SKY NEWS YES WINS!

Forget the fact that there will be a EU president (yes rotating), the Lisbon treaty is just a more confusing version of the original EU agreement to hand over powers to X and get away with it. Yes, most of it is already taking place but this makes it legal. Unfortunately it will be our children that will have to live with the consequences. With all that is happening in the world though it seems inevitable.

ps - Tony Blair really looks like some Roman 'ceaser'!

If ANYONE knows something before it was even voted, it smells pretty staged to me.
Besides its only 1000 voters. A lot of people think its going to be the whole irish populace going to vote, but no, its only a handfull voters.

Why having to vote a second time? Was the first "No" not enough"
Which part of "NO" they didnt understand?

So much about what our voice is worth to "THEM"(tm)

They can vote again, ya know. There is no law saying that something can only be voted on one time and that's it.
