If they will stick to the rules, Ireland’s rejection matters. becoz as the treaty requires the ratification of all 27 member states, there was no clear idea how they could move forward. but if they will, they either need to change the rules or stick to it.

Well, as for as affecting EU is concerned, I am sure that it’ll manage to get on fairly well without the Irish...blah blah blah. Here now it remains to be seen that how the other powerful nations of the EU reacts to it. Or is it again ignoring the voice of the less powerful ppl, something that we have always witnessed when it comes to the big world powers.

yes. it will. there is no other or Plan B... EU will be affected and it’s already started with the Irish rejection of the plan. EU has stern choice and I am sure in either case, if ignores Irish rejection or stick to all ratification principle, change has already commenced.

No it will hardly affect. those who do not know everything about this Treaty, please read the following:

this treaty represents a massive change in the existence of the EU as a legal entity. It’s laws shall supersede the laws of its member states if they are found to be in contradiction. This Treaty directly affects the structure of government, budgeting, immigration, everything, and the people don’t need to have a say, or should I put it, the people shouldn’t have one? is there someone who want me to go deeper in the issue and tell you the whole text of the treaty please read this
