I'll believe it when it is in the bag, I wouldn't be surprised if Irish politicos stoop to stuffing the ballot boxes

Thank you, ireland!!

I hope this result will now scupper the ratification process. If not, there will be - justifiably - some very angry citizens.

A great day for Ireland and a great day for Europe! But the question now is will European politicians listen?

Today I'm proud to one-quarter Irish. But they'll be back, the politicos, until we get it 'right'.

It's indeed ironic that the future of Britain's independence as a nation state could well hinged on the voters of a country whose aspirations for independence Britain itself denied for so long.
