Arising from the Taoiseach's response, will he outline the Government's current position on the endorsement of the Lisbon treaty? Everybody knows the decision of the Irish people was in the negative. The fact is that the Lisbon treaty cannot come into effect unless or until it is endorsed by the people of this country.

An analysis was carried out of the "No" campaign. Was any analysis carried out of the "Yes" campaign? Have the Heads of the other EU Governments asked the Taoiseach to consider holding a second Lisbon treaty referendum before the European Parliament elections scheduled for the first week of June 2009? If so, will spending and fundraising rules be introduced to prevent a repeat of the behaviour of a number of groups and organisations involved in the last Lisbon treaty campaign?

What is the position of the Taoiseach, as Head of Government, on responding in December to the Heads of Government meeting at the Council in view of President Sarkozy's statement that his aim is to reach agreement between the 27 member states on the common path during that meeting?
