Kenny leaves open possibility of second referendum

Taoiseach Enda Kenny did not rule out the possibility of a second referendum on the fiscal treaty if it was rejected the first time.

Mr Kenny signed the treaty with the leaders of 24 other EU states and each country has until Jan 1, 2012, to ratify it. Ireland is the only one holding a referendum.

Pressed on whether voters would have only one bite of the cherry, he appeared to leave the question open.
