I find it amusing that an angry email to Fianna Fáil a few months ago concerning the blasphemy hullabaloo has landed me on their mailing list as some sort of loyal supporter.
Dear ****,
The polls have now closed and we will soon know what the outcome of the referendum is.
I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has helped during the campaign to push out our positive message about Ireland and Europe.
The legal guarantees secured at June’s European Council to address the Irish people’s concerns provided the essential foundation for our campaign and the more we talked to people about them the stronger the response became.
While we launched our formal campaign on September 2nd, work started well before then, and our representatives and supporters had a big role to play in shaping the debate in June, July and August especially in the local and national media.
During the last month, the response has been great. Senior members of government campaigned throughout the country, with the Taoiseach himself getting to 26 constituencies.
We took our message to the people and hit back hard against the cynical tactics of many on the “No” side.
Hopefully all has gone well and Ireland will move forward with Europe.
Whatever the result is, I want to thank everyone who helped.
Sincerely,
Micheál Martin, TD
Minister for Foreign Affairs
Campaign Director – Fianna Fáil
Well, you combover-cockhead, you didn’t seem too interested in my opinions at the foot of Barrack Street in Cork a few years back. I’ll never forget how your ill-fitting suit flapped in the wind, like some sort of lame superhero cape gone wrong.
