AND CAMPAIGN LOSERS

CORA SHERLOCK

THE face and voice of the pro-life campaign for so long, Cora has been more dignified than many on the No side. However, on Friday her arguments were overwhelmingly rejected. It is hard to see where she, and her campaign, will go following this result.

COLM O’GORMAN

SIPO troubles and an inappropriately aggressive debating style meant the Amnesty International chief was, in what should have been the defining moment of his career, consigned to the shadows.

SIMON COVENEY

THE dithering Tánaiste was a peripheral figure who, courtesy of his constitutionally illiterate suggestions, secured the unique feat of probably doing both sides more harm than good.

FIANNA FÁIL

CAUGHT on the wrong side of a historic dividing point, they have reignited enemies’ claims that they are a rural-centred party of the past, out of touch with the current millennial generation, despite their leader’s efforts to be seen as all things to all people.

RÓNÁN MULLEN

CHIEF scapegoat of the pro-life blame-game; his patronising ‘Regardless of whatever you’ve done’ remark during the final debate alienated all generations of women and infuriated the thinking wing of the pro-life movement. Never mind his rejection of the entire issue of mental health.
