VOICED-IRELAND-EU-VOTE

The video discusses the Lisbon Treaty and Ireland's unique position as the only EU member to hold a referendum on it. The 'no' campaign in Ireland was more effective due to fears of higher taxes, dissatisfaction among farmers, and poor communication from political leaders. The referendum's outcome halted a process affecting 495 million Europeans. Despite the setback, the European Commission insists on continuing ratification elsewhere. Ireland and its EU partners must now devise a plan to address the crisis and move forward.
