There are too many people for us to name our canvassing crews individually, but a special thank you to our canvassing coordinator @datbeardyman and canvass leads @fionsars and @KnickersKerry along with the @Dingleforyes team. #FreeSafeLegal#KerrySaysYes
It’s done, it’s really done and while we wait for legislation that so urgently needs to be passed, what a moment this is. And you, all of you that gave so, so much and worked so, so hard to make this happen, this moment is for you. #repealedthe8th 💛💜💚
Our canvassing coordinator, Paul Bowler (@datbeardyman), wrote about his experience of the referendum.

"All credit for this wonderful result must go to the people who with trepidation knocked on thousands of doors across the county. This group of mainly women with no political background braved abuse and apathy in pursuit of their human rights."

So many smart, well-informed, tireless, amazing women had their first taste of political activism during the #8thref, I hope it inspires them to carry on and use their new found voice and all that experience and consider running for election. https://t.co/Qcm9dT1aSm
This is the part where I plead with Dublin-based archivists/librarians to organise and do their magic by co-ordinating with the Council to collect, catalogue, digitise and physically preserve all of these notes. Then within a few days create a perpetual digital memorial. https://t.co/JCJ6EwR57w
Should people who blocked cancer patients getting research drugs because contraception was required also go to confession? ProLife surely means ProCuringCancer too? https://t.co/0qnrPpDPuM
So we have shown that you can’t buy a result. No matter how many posters you slap up, if you don’t win the argument and if you patronise and bully the Irish person you won’t get the answer you want. #lovebothmyarse
