The head of Libertas has told TDs and Senators that any proposed European Constitution should be put to a vote in every EU member state.
Declan Ganley was speaking this morning during an appearance before the Oireachtas committee examining the fallout from Ireland's rejection of the treaty last June.
He told the committee that the EU needed a constitution or a fundamental treaty establishing its basic principles, but the document should be no longer than 25 pages.
He also said the document should be "upfront and honest in what it sets out to achieve", with every single EU citizen having a vote on the matter.

about time someone tried to do this however they will not listen to anyone in the eu, they have one way thinking thier way, and when it is questioned ie a vote against them they force the issue until they get what they want.
