Maybe some of the no campaigners, casually buffing their fingernails this Sunday, could read this and suggest a way out of the dilemma? Or are they realyy going to reveal themselves as the irish wing of the UKIP..
Oh, and btw - to the government, when the hangovers, real and political fade, FFS get off year bums and govern.
Britain should leave then too because they would vote the same way if they had the chance.

And,if you read the articles, thats more or less the implication. Likethe idea of getting back to the 1950s and being dependent on the UK. Way to go....
I didn't receive that message in the article. The points made were logical, and as much as it was a push on the EU to sort out its failings, it was positive in that the view expressed was the Union is good for peace. There seemed to be an acceptance that the Irish no vote was something which would have happened had it go to the popular vote across Europe. And the editor seems to think that this was because the EU has failed to make itself fully understood by the people of the Union. If and when they do sort that problem out, they will gain a better mandate for the changes they need to make.
From Will Hutton : last paragraph
Increasingly, Ireland and Britain are heading for the European exit and that could portend further break-up of the Union. Pro-Europeans look out.
Hutton is a paid euro-hack
"He was invited by the EU commission to join a high-level group on the
mid-term review of the Lisbon strategy and acted as rapporteur for the report published in November 2004.
So? Does that make him any less or more objetive than, oh, millionaires with links to hte US military?
Rubbish. Nobody wants to leave the EU. Even those who didn't want in in the first place have come around.
It is the 'NO' side who should be putting forward their proposals on what Ireland should do next. After all, they won.Cowen will need every scrap of his much vaunted intelligence to get Ireland out of this mess.
I'd like to see Messrs. Higgins, Ross, Ganley, McKenna, McDonald, Dunphy giving us direction...ie the way forward for Ireland; after all, they Irish electorate decided that these knew what was best for all of us.
Come on fellas, what's holding you back?
