Dublín : Ireland could repeat its rejection to the Treaty of Lisbon if a new referendum on the document led to reform the European Union institutions is carried out, said a poll by consulting firm Red C Sunday.
On June 12, 53.4 percent of the participants in the referendum was against the Treaty of Lisbon, an agreement signed in December 2007.
Now, 62 out of each 100 questioned people about the Treaty of Lisbon could be against the document.
Just thirty-two percent of the questioned people would support the document this time.
The Treaty of Lisbon is a substitute of the failed European constitutional project, rejected in referendums made in France and Holland in the summer of 2005.
The poll said that 72 percentual points refuted the need to go to the ballot boxes again, while 17 percent was in favour.
Red C made the study by a request from Open Europe, an association formed by British enterprises.
The poll said that 57 percent of those who were not present to vote in June 12 would now vote against the Treaty of Lisbon.
Ireland is the only European Union member which is forced to make referendums on crucial topics, because of the legislations in its Constitution.
The Irish rejection aborts the ratification process for the document that might be put in force in January, required of a unanimous support.
Last week, French President Nicolas Sarkozy, now presiding EU for six months, visited Dublin looking for a solution to the institutional crisis created by the vote in the Irish referendum.
