It was a unique citizens’ campaign which, from a standing start, rapidly grew into a nationwide organisation. Its leaders had been aware for many months that if the Treaty was to be put to the Irish people again, a very different type of campaign would have to be mounted, involving people from all sectors, of all ages and mobilising people in their own areas.

Its leaders had been aware for many months that if the Treaty was to be put to the Irish people again, a very different type of campaign would have to be mounted, involving people from all sectors, of all ages and mobilising people in their own areas.

This is the tale of how the Great, the Good and the rest of us, joined forces under the banner of Ireland for Europe to reclaim Ireland’s future within the best partnership the country has ever had – the European Union.

The book is an essential read for everyone involved in the campaign and will also be of interest to political scientists and students of Irish and European politics – nationally and internationally.

Price : €50.00. (Special members rate applies. Please contact Tara Connolly at +35316612167/tara@irelandforeuorpe.ie for further information.)
