The Department of Foreign Affairs is going to carry out research into why people voted the way they did at the last Lisbon referendum:Any chance of our government commissioning another in-depth survey? Or do positive votes not deserve the same scrutiny as negative ones?
The radical shift in the support for the referendum is to be examined by the Department of Foreign Affairs. The total cost of similar research in late 2008 into why the electorate backed a No vote cost taxpayers around €150,000.

The electorate will be asked later this month for the factors that shaped their vote. Iveagh House also want to measure the level of understanding of EU issues in general and the Lisbon Treaty.
