Dublin and Louth fans urged ‘Don’t Score an Own Goal!’

Ógra Shinn Féin activists where joined by Dublin’s Aengus O’Snodaigh TD and Mary Lou McDonald MEP and Louth’s Arthur Morgan TD and Cllr Tomas Sharkey outside Croke Park today, to urge GAA fans, ‘Don’t score an own goal, vote No! 2 Lisbon.’

Deep GAA rivalry was put aside before the match as Louth and Dublin activists united to send a strong message to the thousands of spectators on a blistering championship Sunday. Thousands of leaflets where distributed, and a banner was on display as activists engaged with hundreds of fans.

Ógra Shinn Féin spokesperson, Aine Downes said,

“We received a very positive response from the people we engaged, with many using the opportunity to speak to our elected activists. There was a strong message coming from many GAA fans today that they will be voting No! to the Lisbon Treaty on Thursday.”

“A very energetic and vibrant No! 2 Lisbon campaign has been rolled out by Sinn Féin and Ógra over the past few months, but we still have 4 more days to go, and these will be crucial in ensuring the proper outcome for Irish and European citizens. Let’s make everyone proud on Thursday 12th June, achieve a resounding No! vote and send the Dublin government back to the drawing board to re-negotiate a better deal for Ireland.”
