Irish Referendum

Today the Irish will vote in a referendum on the Lisbon Treaty. The eyes of Europe will be upon. A 'NO' vote could derail plans for more effective European co-operation. It would be a pity if debate on practical issues was shouted down by arguments about institutional structures and procedures. Europe could move on after today, or continue being mired in a destructive argument between zealots on both extremes.
