Irish Approve EU Constitution

As reported earlier on CTBlog, Ireland approved the EU Constitution, from the WSJ:

Anti-treaty groups were conceding defeat. “I’d like to congratulate the Taoiseach, who ran an absolutely masterful campaign,” said Declan Ganley, the leader of “no” group Libertas, referring to Ireland’s prime minister. “They know how to overturn a result that doesn’t suit them.”

Ireland alone among the 27 EU countries put the Lisbon Treaty to a vote. The others ratified it through their parliaments.

The last remaining obstacle is the signature of the Czech president.

In the EU capital, officials rejoiced and quickly began laying the groundwork for the bloc’s new structure, though a hurdle remains: The Czech Republic’s euroskeptic president, Václav Klaus, has refused to sign his parliament’s ratification of the treaty.
