The Treaty consists of amendments to the two main EU Treaties, the Treaty on European Union and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. The Irish Government played a leading role in the negotiations during the Irish Presidency of the European Union in 2004.

Design Factory were invited by the Department of Foreign Affairs to design a suite of visual communications materials to inform and update voters on the main issues surrounding the upcoming referendum on October 2nd 2009.
