The larger countries, the French, Italians, etc are well used to ignoring EU dictates. In Ireland we accept them all.

We, the people of Ireland, generally accept proposed EU treaties.

Occassionally we reject them.

In both cases, we use our sovereignty to great effect.

In neither case can we be accused of accepting EU dictates.
