France, 2005: en.wikipedia.org The French referendum on the Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe was held on 29 May 2005 to decide whether France should ratify the proposed Constitution of the European Union. The result was a victory for the "No" campaign, with 55% of voters rejecting the treaty on a turnout of 69%. The question put to voters was: Approuvez-vous le projet de loi qui autorise la ratification du traité établissant une Constitution pour l'Europe ? "Do you approve the bill authorising the ratification of the treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe?" France was the first country to reject the treaty, and the second country to go to the polls in a referendum on ratification, after a Spanish referendum approved the treaty by a wide margin in February 2005. France's rejection of the Constitution left the treaty with an uncertain future, with other EU member states pledging to continue with their own arrangements for ratification.

Ireland, 2008: en.wikipedia.org The Twenty-Eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill (No 14 of 2008) is a bill introduced by the Government of Ireland in 2008 to amend the Constitution of Ireland in order to enable ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon (also known as the Reform Treaty) of the European Union, so it can enter into force as scheduled on 1 January 2009. As part of the enactment of the bill, a referendum is to be held on 12 June 2008.[1] >>>>>>>>>>>>>> WASTE PAPER The Government is planning to send bilingual booklets written in English and Irish, explaining the Treaty, to every Irish household (2.5 million). However compendiums of the two previous treaties, of which the Lisbon Treaty is intended to be a series of reforms and amendments, remain unavailable in Ireland.[19] Some commentators have argued that the treaty remains essentially incomprehensible in the absence of such a compendium.[19]
