Politicians in Ireland followed their constitutional mandate and had a public referendum on the adoption of the treaty (constitution) and, just like everywhere else in Europe that did the same prior, it was voted DOWN by the people. You criticize this and referring to it as "a kick in the ass"? Sorry, but you sound like a fucking fascist
