Commentary From The Cedar Lounge Revolution
7th August 2014
From 1968, this poster was in response to the referendum introduced by the then Fianna Fáil government to abolish Proportional Representation and replace it with the ‘straight vote’.
Many thanks to Peter Mooney for donating this poster to the Archive.

That is such a great point… reading this
http://irishpoliticalmaps.blogspot.ie/2011/07/referendum-1972-accession-to-european.html
I see that:
“The Labour Party, trade unions and Provisional and Official Sinn Féin – each suspicious of the EC and the effects of Irish membership of it – campaigned for accession to be rejected.”
It’s just whatever they want to say, isn’t it? Doesn’t matter if it’s true or not… away they go.

Blame lays with those who report on politicians uncritically
