IT’S A CAMPAIGN that’s been defined this week by doughnuts and murals, but will the Repeal The Eighth campaign embrace symbols like the iconic Yes badges?
If you’ve been on Twitter or Instagram, you’ve probably seen people sporting the Repeal sweatshirt. It’s on sale from the Repeal Project, a campaign that aims to “give a voice to a hidden problem”.
The sweatshirts went on sale last month and since then, they have struggled to keep up with demand — a pop-up store in Indigo & Cloth sold out in one day and people clamoured to get their hands on one at Longitude earlier this month.
Sweatshirts are still available to purchase online for €25 with proceeds going to the Abortion Rights Campaign. The campaign has also announced plans to expand their line and sell bomber jackets, tote bags, t-shirts and more.
2. The Repeal doughnuts from Aungier Danger
Following Dublin City Council’s decision to remove Maser’s Repeal mural from Project Arts Centre, Aungier Danger decided to release heart-shaped doughnuts emblazoned with the word ‘Repeal’.
The doughnut shop told DailyEdge.ie that the doughnuts sold out by lunchtime with proceeds going to Abortion Rights Campaign. They explained that they wanted to “support women’s rights and the non-censorship of art”.
We saw major support for this online which made it worthwhile. People are talking and awareness is growing.
As for whether they’ll be making a comeback? There may be something in the pipeline so keep your eyes peeled…

Following the removal of Maser’s mural, The Hunreal Issues decided to sell t-shirts with the logo printed on it.
Andrea Horan of The Hunreal Issues told DailyEdge.ie that the first batch sold out in fifteen minutes, while the website crashed once the second batch went on sale. She says that the purpose of the t-shirts is to “give people hope that Repeal is on the way”.
When we had to take down the mural, it felt like we’d lost as the whole point of it was to bring the conversation out into the open and to try and take the hysteria out of the conversations that were being had.
When it was painted over, it felt like the issue was being brushed over again. That’s why it was so important for us for the Maser mural to live on — on tees and hopefully getting it back up.
Horan explains that The Hunreal Issues have “loads more ideas and projects in the works” so funds from the sale of t-shirts will be used to get them in action.
We’re working with other artists on new projects and we need to pay to get the mural back up if we get the permission. We had said that we were going to use the proceeds to install the mural on billboards but no board owners would take it. We’re trying to delve into the reason at the moment.
The t-shirts retail for €15. Keep an eye out on The Hunreal Issues for information on when they’re back in stock.
4. The Repeal The 8th badge
Much like the Yes badge before it, the Repeal movement has many badges. The above badge comes from Artists’ Campaign To Repeal The Eighth Amendment and is available in many stores across the country. (For a full list, click here.)
Meanwhile, Abortion Rights Campaign also have a selection of badges on sale (including the above) for €1 each on their online store.
5. Repeal necklace from Love & Robots
Whoops!
We couldn't find this Tweet
The Dublin-based jewellery designers partnered with Abortion Rights Campaign to design this Repeal necklace with 20% of each sale being donated to the campaign.
Aoibheann O’Daly of the Love and Robots told DailyEdge.ie that they had noticed people were using their personalisation tool to create their own Repeal necklaces so they decided to put some on sale in conjunction with ARC.
It’s something we really care about. We also got in touch with ARC about it and set up their own page on our site, where people can read a bit about them and buy the necklaces.
The necklaces are available online and in their pop-up shop in The Library Project, Temple Bar. O’Daly says that many people have popped in to ask about the necklaces after seeing them in the window.
There’s been a lot of interest.
The necklaces retail for between €45 and €150, and come in an assortment of colours and styles.
