Colourful Repeal jumpers are launching in a few weeks ahead of the abortion referendum.

The iconic jumpers will be sold in an array of new colours in the lead up the referendum in order to raise more money for the Yes campaign.

The Repeal Project announced today that the jumpers will be back in stock on May 2 and that they will also be available in different colours too.

On Instagram, they wrote:

“May 2nd: we release coloured jumpers. Collaborating with some amazing groups and spokespeople.

“This is the official big fundraiser gig for the national campaign. The final few weeks are crucial to securing a Yes vote.”

The original black jumpers came back on sale at the end of March for the first time in months, however they sold out again soon after.

They cost €25, with all proceeds going towards the Abortion Rights Campaign.

The jumpers were first launched in 2016 by the Repeal Project.

They were immensely popular among those wanting to emphasise their support for the repeal of the eighth amendment.

Ireland’s current abortion laws equate the life of a woman with the life of the unborn. Abortions are also illegal in cases of rape, incest, and Fatal Foetal Abnormality (FFA).

The referendum takes place on Friday, May 25.

Repeal jumpers will be available on Repeal Project’s website on May 2.
