Also, the EU commission president, Jose Manuel Barroso, has made it known that he wants to hear from Brian Cowen why Ireland voted no, and what Cowen expects Europe to do next.
I doubt if there’ll be any footage of the meeting, but I’m going to hazard a guess that it might be something like this.
Enjoy.
