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?

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.

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.
