It turns out that Ireland for Europe are still in existence as they are in a debt of about €150,000. They are blaming the spending of the no side for this. So to tackle this they are organising an event. An €160 a head one!! I dont see many people signing up for this one! I...
I am delighted, I am ecstatic, I am over the moon!!! The result today is unbelievable. At the start of the campaign, I said it could be a 60-40 yes vote if we worked hard. Last week I would have said 55-45 would be the best we could hope for! To see the result today was just amazing. Thank you everyone who voted Yes. Thank you to everyone in all the Yes Groups who campaigned. Thank you to everyone...
A friend sent me this photo of what we believe is the highest poster in Ireland on Lisbon. It is located at the Top of Coom 1045 feet above sea level, on the Cork Kerry Border in the Muscraí Gaeltacht. Is there any that beat it?

There was a good crowd there and we received a very positive reaction. Lots of people were willing to engage with us. One guy came up and quizzed me and why I thought we should vote yes and he complemented me on my knowledge of the Treaty. Little does he...

I am going to try and give up using it and tla‘s (three letter acronyms) for the duration of the Lisbon Treaty Campaign on the blog. Why? Cause it explains nothing! Only people in the know understand the terminology and the acronyms, which won’t work with the people who I am trying to convince who have no ideas...
