Cóir’s message to their supporters after the result. There’s more to come.
Dear
Just a quick update to thank you all and to give a few important messages.
- Firstly, from everyone in Cóir, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for the magnificent effort you put into making the second battle against Lisbon such a truly inspired campaign. You’ve been a brilliant, wonderful team. God Bless you all. We’ll be sending a full report later this week.
- This is a grubby win for the elite, driven by fear and bullying. In the three days before the vote, the people were subjected to a media onslaught of Yes propaganda threatening ruin and isolation if people voted No. It was unprecedented and utterly disgusting.
- We succeeded, however, in raising several crucial issues, including, of course, the right to life, and the increased profile given to those issues in Lisbon 1 and 2 will make a big difference to our work going forward.
- In the next five days we need to make sure that every Cóir poster is taken down or we will face VERY stiff fines that we can’t pay! Can you ensure that EVERY poster you put up is taken down please? If you see a poster which you can’t take down please call us on 01 8746858 and we’ll get onto it.
- We’re looking to have a special Cóir meeting on November 1st and will contact you with further details shortly.
God bless

Cóir supporters get TWO “God blesses”! That’s impressive, even if the first, inexplicably, has “bless” with a capital B. It hurts my eyes.
“We succeeded in raising several crucial issues” – yes, that you did, “including, of course, the right to life”. Uh, in case you hadn’t noticed, Ireland has an existing law against abortion. Can you not just shut up about it and allow the rest of us to live our lives without your constant bleating?
But what were the other “crucial issues” – was it the crying children with the apocalyptic clouds in the background? I’m not quite sure what issue was being raised there. Or was it the €1.84 minimum wage (I’m tightening my belt accordingly), or the end of democracy as we know it?
Yes, well done, well done. I shall be calling that number myself if I see any Cóir posters lurking around past next Friday, I tell you.

Re: “the increased profile given to those issues in Lisbon 1 and 2 will make a big difference to our work going forward.”
I wonder what exactly does this future work entail – presumably something along the lines of dragging Ireland back to a 1950’s “ideal” of large Catholic families, gays firmly in the closet and unhappy spouses stuck together for infinity and beyond.
Yeh, good luck with that Coir.
Tempted to put up Coir posters just to see them fined…
lol @ Seán – Just said the exact same thing to my partner!

hmm i think i should join the cause of Cóir is the meeting an open invite or to the select few?
Shauna, large Catholic families?! Gays firmly back in the closet?! I think I’ll go into the closets with the gays, to be honest. Also, does anyone from Cóir even scour the internet every now and then? Do they ever respond to these posts?
