We will debate the matter this afternoon. Those on the "No" side, including Libertas and Sinn Féin have argued for a renegotiation. The logic of a renegotiation is that what is renegotiated must be ratified either by the Oireachtas or by the people in a referendum. The logic of their case for a "No" vote in this referendum is that another referendum will take place on the Lisbon treaty with guarantees or whatever opt-outs might be negotiated.
