The European Commission Representation in Ireland was actively involved in informing Irish citizens about the [[Lisbon Treaty]], in sight of the [[Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland Bill, 2009]], which was passed on 2 October 2009. Another referendum, [[Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland Bill, 2008]], was held on 12 June 2008 but the proposal was defeated.
 
==Purpose==
To this end, the Representation team has the following ''functions'':
 
''Communicating''
*Providing information on European affairs both to the media and to the general public. The Press Office keeps national and local media up to date with developments in Brussels and is an important contact point for journalists.
*Providing the general public with free access to information about the Commission and the [[European Union]] in its public information centre at 18 Dawson Street, Dublin 2, through publications, updated [[eurobarometer]], internet points, multimedia facilities and educational visits. Information officers are on hand to deal with specific queries. The Representation has also established a panel of experts – [http://www.euireland.ie/ireland/contact_us/the_eu_near_you/team_europe/index_en.htm Team Europe] – available to speak at conferences and seminars throughout the country.
*Providing a [http://www.euireland.ie/ireland/general_information/legal_information_and_eu_law/index_en.htm Eurojus Consultant] (solicitor: Siobhan Duffy) who is available to give advice and information on citizens’ rights in the European Union.
*Distributing a weekly electronic [http://ec.europa.eu/ireland/press_office/newsletter/index_en.htm newsletter] with news of recent developments at EU level and an agenda of upcoming events.
