Ahern: EU constitution not dead

The European Union’s constitution is not dead and its ratification is essential for the future of enlargement, Taoiseach Bertie Ahern said today. Mr Ahern brokered agreement on the wording of the charter during Ireland’s EU presidency in 2004, but it was put on hold after France and the Netherlands rejected it in referendums last year.

“Reports of the death of the European Constitution are premature,” Mr Ahern told the National Forum on Europe seminar in Dublin Castle today.
