Teams of Libertas volunteers have hit the streets of Ireland today in a final push for votes ahead of Thursdays' referendum.

In the centre of Dublin, 30 people hit Grafton Street over lunchtime, before departing with Declan Ganley for Croke Park, where they will canvass supporters of Dublin and Louth. A Libertas aircraft will also circle the stadium during the match.

In Tallaght, 15 people attended a meet&greet in the town square, meeting voters and distributing leaflets.

In Cork, over 20 people canvassed on Patrick Street.

Large numbers of volunteers went door to door in Ennis, Donegal and Sligo.

In the west, Libertas volunteers are distributing material in the Irish Language on the Aran Islands, which will cast their votes earlier than the rest of the country,

In Kildare, teams of volunteers are hitting the streets of Celbridge, Maynooth, and Leixlip, where they will deliver approximately 8,000 pieces of literature.

Speaking from the campaign trail in Dublin, Libertas chairman Declan Ganley said that the Libertas campaign would be unrelenting over the final days:

"The response we are getting from the public is reflected in recent polling. While we are taking nothing for granted, there has been no perceptible shift in the public mood over the past few days.

Huge numbers of Libertas supporters and volunteers are giving up their free time over the next few days to ensure that we get the maximum number of people out to vote "no" on Thursday.

As we enter the home strait, our message to the public is very clear: We can do better than Lisbon. It is a message that is resonating, and I am confident that on Friday morning, Brian Cowen will have a very significant mandate from the Irish people to go back to Brussels, and do his job."
