Two submissions from last year’s We’re Coming Back’s Toast For A Vote campaign with Cian McCarthy and friends in Japan, top, and Kate Cunningham and friends in Scotland
Conor O’Neill, from We’re Coming Back, writes:
“This Christmas weekend (19-21st), Irish people around the world are coming together to show their support for an emigrant vote.”
“In the US, the UK, Australia, Canada and most of Europe, expat citizens retain their voting rights while abroad. Ireland is about to decide if it takes its place among them – Government has promised a decision by Christmas on whether Irish citizens abroad can vote in Irish Presidential elections.”
“We’re raising a collective toast in support, together. Home or abroad, we want you to raise a glass and join us! Take a photo of your toast, send it to us on Facebook, or tweet #toastforavote at @WCBIreland. Invite your friends to do the same. This Christmas weekend, let’s send a message of support, from all over the world.”
“Sláinte!”
