No!
Ireland voted "No" to the (treaty that paves the way for the) EU constitution. It seems that when member states hold a referendum, people tend to say "No".

Here's a quote from BBC news online:

Finance Minister Brian Lenihan said: "I'm very, very disappointed by this result. I think it's a sad day for Europe and for our people as well."


I'm confused, he could be saying that he is personally sad or that he doesn't accept the result.
I don't know much about the legal standing of Ireland's ministers but I kind of assumed they were public servants, so the will of the people might be a factor in their working lives.
Will he resign, realising that his views don't represent the people or is it just David Davis that does that sort of stuff?

I presume they'll handle this the same way they handled Nice.
