The EU has come up with a new consitution or a treaty as they call it. It is the framework for thee way the EU will function in the future, its roles and responsibilities, laws, etc etc.
All 24 countries have to say 'YES' in order for it to pass. Some countries, like Ireland have decided to ask the voters for their opinion.. In the others, like the UK, the government in power has said that it will decide on which way to vote..
The Irish people have voted NO, in the referendum. This should mean that the Irish government must as NO. This means that the treaty in its current form is dead.
