A large majority of Irish voted on Friday in favour of the EU Reform Treaty. In a second referendum in less than 16 months, 67.1 percent of voters said "Yes" to the Treaty of Lisbon, and 32.9 percent said "No". At 58 percent participation was somewhat higher than in June of 2008 (53.13 percent), when a majority of voters rejected the Treaty. The European press discusses what steps must now be taken to reform the EU.
