As far as I know, Lisbon is the first Treaty to make specific provision for a members state withdrawing. Up until now there was no explicit mechanism for so doing.

Very sure. I distinctly remember that point being brought up when Nice was discussed in '01 (in the context of Danish € membership).

FWIW, Wiki begs to differ

From what I have read of the treaty "debate" in Ireland, something "being bought up" and something being true often have only the most casual of connections.

Sounds like you're right. I'll be damned. I could've sworn that Nice contained those provisions.
