Are we the only member state that has to ratify the treaty by Referendum?

If we don't, does the treaty fail or does it go with the majority?

Yes, we are the only state holding a referendum.

It fails.
 
What percentage of people need to vote on the day in order for it to be legitimate? What happens if voter apathy results in too few people voting?
 
If 1 person in IReland voted, that would be sufficient, I don't believe there is any minimum percentage required under law to make a poll valid
