After Eurovision
After his Eurovision experience, Dustin returned to Ireland where he launched a campaign against the Lisbon Treaty in the European Union, calling for a 'No' vote by the Irish on the referendum for the amendment of the Irish constitution to allow the adoption of the treaty. Dustin's campaign included the slogan "They didn't vote for us. Get them back. Vote 'No' to Lisbon", referring to his failure at Eurovision.
RTÉ also announced that it was seeking a new television format for the turkey, targeting a more mature audience, but the show will not be in a chat-show format. Pilots are currently in production, however the show is not expected to be aired on RTÉ until 2009.
