Taoiseach affirms Ireland’s commitment to EU Constitution

The Taoiseach has said that the Irish Government is committed to the EU Constitution.

Mr Ahern was reacting to the No vote delivered in the French referendum on the Constitution yesterday.

He was responsible for brokering agreement on the document between all 25 member states in June of last year during Ireland’s presidency of the EU.

“We're still committed to the Constitution and I hope all member states are committed to it. Obviously everyone has an obligation before November of next year to ratify the Constitution, so the process will continue,” the Taoiseach said.
