The counting started at 9.00 and the Nos are daring to hope as the famed Irish tallymen report many working class and rural areas voting against Lisbon. As against that, the prosperous classes came out in force to vote Yes in smart areas of Dublin and leafy Kildare. Turn-out is in the late 40s which can be argued to favour either side. We might know by lunchtime.

June 13th, 2008 2:01pm Report this commentLike many here in Dublin, I am broadly pro-EU but against some key aspects of this treaty, in particular the new system where every country would have no Commissioner at the 'top table' for five out of every 15 years. Could you trust Berlusconi or Sarkozy to represent your country's interests in your absence? I doubt it and that's why I voted 'No'. This result is not a snub to Europe, it is the rejection of these specific new laws.
