She said that, while she'd have voted 'no' on principle, she thinks Ireland as a whole will vote 'no' to be obstinate! I'm afraid I don't know much about the issue (being a non-EU Brit), but if the rest of Ireland is anything like Lisa I can imagine exactly that happening!

And despite conventional wisdom that says nobody pays attention or cares about these things and that the electorate is apathetic: as I walked through the main street of Bray today I passed various knots of people talking about the Treaty, also in the Library, and yesterday at my gym. When I shouted to a friend across the street, "don't forget to vote NO!" a young man came up to me and asked "Why are you voting NO?" We had a discussion about it then and there. Having voted YES, he was eager to chat and discover my reasons for voting NO. I'm really proud to be Irish today. Given that we apparently have the only democratic constitution in Europe, I think we are living up to our responsibilities. Hey, may I add the four members of my family whom I know voted No as well?
