Street sellers wrap up Mary Lou’s campaign

IF ONLY Brian Cowen had used some of his unparliamentary language in Dublin’s famous Moore Street, he might have secured more yes votes in today’s referendum.

“We want to keep f**kin’ Ireland, we want to keep our f**kin’ country,” one trader told Sinn Féin’s Mary Lou McDonald who yesterday canvassed on the old market street in her final push for a no vote on the Lisbon treaty.

The traders on Moore Street must be the most canvassed in the country, providing politicians with great photo opportunities during dull referenda campaigns and long-fought general elections.
