LUXEMBOURG (Reuters) - Ireland has not yet considered any options such as a new referendum after its voters rejected the European Union's reform treaty last week, Foreign Minister Micheal Martin said on Monday.

Speaking after EU foreign ministers discussed the way forward for the treaty designed to improve the enlarged 27-nation Union's governance, Martin told journalists: "We have not considered any options."
