I'm still dying of a hang over!! lol! Great celebrations last night! It was a very long and hard 6 months for us but we did it! No one group won this, it was an overall collective effort by all the groups and activists!
Libertas was the most effective though because they do have the money and they do get on TV. They sent out fliers to nearly every house in Ireland. I actually met Declan Ganley, leader of libertas, last night he's a very nice guy (bought me a pint
).
As for our group, We Are Change (Ireland) and wiseupjournal.com we made a documentary which got over 60,000 views with no advertisement. No1 watched video on Google Videos for months. We also handed out 80,000 fliers and 1,000 DVD's. Also canvassed 1000s of peoples homes.
Shinn Fein were effective too, they were out on the streets a lot also. They even went door to door the day of the vote offering those who have not yet voted a lift to the polling stations.
Another group called COIR, a very very effective and wonderful group. Good spirit among them. They were the ones who put up most of the No posters. They were always out on the streets. They also sent fliers to nearly every house in Ireland and we did door to door canvassing with these guys too.
Thanks to all the groups and activists and to all the people who have supported and listened to us!
