In the 2011 General Election, Catherine Connolly lost out on a Dáil seat to Fine Gael by 17 votes, while there were 643 spoiled ballots. 

In this election, one candidate is going to win no matter how many spoils there are, and for those who support Catherine, we cannot afford to leave any votes behind. 

Can you reach out to your friends, family, neighbours and communities to urge them to use their vote? Do you know people who might be on the fence or want more information, and get 5 on side to vote Connolly #1 this Friday?

Whether on WhatsApp, social media, at work or down the pub; we all have opportunities available to us to spark conversations, answer questions and spread our enthusiasm - let’s leave no stone unturned!

We are asking everyone to take 5 minutes to reach out as far and wide as you can, asking your friends if they have a plan for voting on Friday. If you think they are on the fence, you can also let them know you are backing Catherine and are happy to explain why. 

Once you have your 5 on side, keep it up! Can you get a full team of 11, or 15 for the GAA fans? How about beating Catherine's solo record, and keep it up till you break 100?
