Ireland rejects EU reform treaty
The Irish No campaign was a broad-ranging coalition
Voters in Ireland have rejected the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty in a referendum by 53.4% to 46.6%.
The vote is a major blow to leaders in the 27-nation EU, which requires all its members to ratify the treaty. Only Ireland has held a public vote.
The European Commission says nations should continue to ratify the treaty, designed to streamline decision-making.
Irish PM Brian Cowen said he respected the vote but it had caused a "difficult situation" that had "no quick fix".
Leaders of the No campaign said the vote was a "great result for Ireland".
An earlier, more wide-ranging EU draft constitution failed after French and Dutch voters rejected it in 2005.

How will Irish Lisbon Treaty No vote affect the EU?
Irish voters have rejected the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty in a referendum by 53.4% to 46.6%.
The vote is a major blow to the EU, which requires all its members to ratify the treaty. Ireland was the only one of 27 member states to hold a referendum.
European Commission head Jose Manuel Barroso called on other states to continue their ratification processes and said a solution should be sought.
European leaders earlier said they had no "plan B" for how to proceed if Ireland's electorate voted No.
How significant do you think this result is for the EU? What next after this result? Are you in Ireland? Did you vote? Send us your comments and reaction.
Tell MPs @ http://parliament.uk @ Daniel 7 & Revelation 13 & 2 Thessalonians 2 etc prophecies of the worst global tyranny ever springing fro this revived Roman Empire, which is now trying to expand into N Africa
Founding father Monet & EU leaders claim title!!
Daniel 7 even prophecies, 3 time, that this 'terrible 4th beast' of that vision will 'crush, devour & trample' victims 'till the Ancient of Days crushes it'
So..
what are ya gona do @ it??
Democratic rights: use 'em or lose 'em, right?
