Ahern discusses Nice with O’Cuiv
Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is confirming he had a "long conversation" with
Minister of State Eamon O’Cuiv earlier today after he confessed at the
weekend that he voted no to the Nice Treaty.
Speaking to reporters in Dublin Mr Ahern said it must have been difficult for the minister to campaign for a yes vote while voting no himself.
The Taoiseach is describing Mr O’Cuiv’s move as unusual.
Meanwhile, the Minister for Foreign Affairs Brian Cowen is in Luxembourg
meeting his EU colleagues. They are discussing the fall out of the
referendum. They are remaining adamant that there will be no renegotiation.
