IRELAND AND the European Union are in a great mess following rejection of the Lisbon Treaty in last Thursday's referendum. The costly political consequences of the decision, mostly ignored or disregarded during the campaign, are rapidly becoming apparent. Ireland faces extremely troubling choices concerning our future relationship with the rest of the European Union and its member-states. They recognise Ireland's sovereign right to reject the treaty but do not accept that the reforms it contains should be abandoned, even if legally the treaty can only be implemented unanimously.

SLAVERY WAS one form of human bondage that most people thought had ended with its abolition in Britain and the US in the 19th century. In the 21st century, however, it has assumed a new guise. Modern-day slavery involves the trafficking of men, women and children to work as forced labour in factories, farms and brothels. Earlier this month the US State Department published its annual human trafficking report, now regarded as the most comprehensive review of how 170 countries are tackling the problem. It makes depressing reading.
