The campaign is coming along well. We’ve now got branches set up in Galway, Limerick, DCU, UCD and Trinity and have more on the way.

Bart is travelling around the country meeting people and trying to establish the volunteer network we need to win this campaign. You can find his campaign schedule below. If you want to meet up with him, or just get involved in general, give him a shout at bart@generationyes.ie

New research demonstrates definitively that Libertas’ claim that “Unelected Brussels bureaucrats make up to 80% of laws” is completely false.

Gen Yes’s team of researchers have analysed all legislation from the last 17 years to show that on average, the real proportion of laws that comes from Brussels is less than half of what Libertas claims. In a year-by-year analysis, not once does the amount of legislation coming from Brussels rise even as far as 50%. Furthermore, not one single EU law can be passed without approval from our elected MEPs or our elected politicians in the European Council.

You can find the research on our Fight the Lies page.

It’s only 10 days since our launch and we’ve already made big strides towards our goal of getting a ‘Yes’ vote in the Lisbon referendum.

We’ve set up two branches in Dublin [in DCU and Trinity], a branch in Galway and a branch in Limerick. There’s been lots of interest at each of these meetings with 30+ people at most wanting to get involved.

We’ll be in UCD, Maynooth and Cork by the end of this month.

We’ve had over 150 people sign up on the website to become volunteers and that number is growing every day.

If you want to get involved either use the “Get Involved” section of the website or drop Andy or Bart an email.

From organising a regional meeting in your area, to getting ready to start canvassing, to fundraising, to making buttons, there’s lots of work to be done.
