C'mon Ireland, you know you want to...

[Louis VI the Fat]

Ireland democratically decided to join the EU, through various previous agreements. This does not mean that they shoud forever hold their breath. They are perfectly entitled to subject any existing or future treaty to whatever democratic decision making process of their liking.

Just because they said 'yes' once, does not mean they forfeited the opportunity to say 'no' the next time. Likewise, just because they said 'non' once, does not mean they shouldn't have an opportunity to say 'yes' next time.

Neither the pro nor the anti treaty camp can insist the other camp should forever hold its breath. I really don't understand the outrage.
