Irish 'ready to hold new EU vote'

The Irish Republic is willing to hold a second referendum on the EU's reform treaty, according to draft documents at a Brussels EU summit, reports say.

The Lisbon Treaty has been on ice since being rejected by Irish voters in June.

But a new vote is likely to be held by next October, with the EU presidency setting out guarantees designed to satisfy Irish voters, Irish media say.

The summit beginning in Brussels is also due to take crucial decisions on EU measures to tackle climate change.
