Our power of veto will fade away under the treaty

JUDGE Iarfhlaith O’Neill, chairman of the Referendum Commission, has helpfully pointed us to the commission’s website (www.lisbontreaty2008.ie) to get the facts on the treaty (Letters, May 10).

The original remit of the commission was to outline arguments for and against whatever referendum was being held and this would inform voters on what was beneficial to them and the aspects that would harm their interests.

The simple thinking was that voters could then make an informed decision.
