An internal EU briefing paper, entitled The Solution to the Irish Problem, predicts that officials will accede to the re-run at a meeting of Europes leaders on October 15.   And there are rumours that French President Nicolas Sarkozy will be back in Dublin before the end of the year with a message for the Irish.    The main issues of concern are the composition of the Commission, the corporate tax base, workers rights, neutrality and abortion,  Micheal Martin said, blatantly omiting to mention immigration despite the  recent poll results which showed that a majority of the Irish population wanted restriction on mass immigration .   These issues were identified as key issues for Irish voters in the first Lisbon Treaty referendum, in research (that cost Irish taxpayers 163 000) published yesterday by Minister for Foreign Affairs, Micheal Martin.   Mr Martin added that the Government would not be putting forward any definitive proposals on how to deal with the result of the Lisbon Referendum at next months European Council meeting.   Amidst  French and German pressure to hold a second vote , Autumn 2009 has emerged as the favoured date ahead of the EU summit on the future of the Lisbon Treaty next month.   The Government has refused to rule out a second referendum following the No vote in June, but officials insist all options are on the table.   A spokesman said the Lisbon debate would now move into the wider political and public domain. He stressed voting behaviour research was only the first of many steps, and that debate on all options would continue in the Oireachtas European Affairs Committee.    But the Solution to the Irish Problem document  from an influential group of French officials called Les Amis du Traite de Lisbonne or Friends of the Lisbon Treaty  suggests that EU officials have their own ideas on how to proceed.   The text is by a senior Paris-based European official called Jean-Guy Giraud  and is regarded as reflecting the view in France, current holder of the EUs rotating presidency.    The second Irish referendum could take place, on this new basis, during Autumn 2009, pushing back the coming into force of the Treaty of Lisbon until 2010 , the document states.   Other EU officials have confirmed that the autumn 2009 referendum proposal is gaining ground in informal and formal talks between Brussels oligarchy.    This date is the one being mentioned,  said a source.   Mr Sarkozy yesterday lunched with senior Euro-MPs in Paris to discuss the Lisbon Treaty and other issues.    It is clear that the only question over a second referendum for Sarkozy is that of timing , said one MEP after the lunch.
