After a year with his tail between his legs, Paddy has now been hired by LIRFC. I have attached the list of their sponsors below if anyone has time to send an email or two asking them to put pressure on for the decision to be reconsidered. I'm very articulate, but if it makes it easier feel free to use my letter.
"Good afternoon
I was hoping you could clarify your position on whether Pump Technology expects a certain standard of behaviour from both the organisations they sponsor and those associated with them? I am disturbed to hear about the recent appointment of Paddy Jackson to LIRFC. As you financially support LIRFC one can only assume that you endorse their decisions.
Given the level of public prominence players have and that they are viewed as role models for our young men to aspire to, do you feel this appointment is appropriate and are you happy to be associated with and financially support this decision?Â
I would urge you to please discuss this with LIRFC in the same way as Ulster Rugby's sponsors did to ensure there was no negative impact on their businesses. Â
Kindest regards,"

Who is this person and what did they do?
(Obviously I'm going to google it in a second, but I think you need to add in something otherwise it'll just be 
faces receiving the email)
Having googled it, I recognised and remembered the case, but had not immediately connected the individual's name.
No need to be so snotty about it, Minecraft 
My previous post was in the spirit of adding weight to OP's email suggestion.
I was just searching for previous threads on this case on Mumsnet as I had seen the London Irish announcement on Broadsheet ( an Irish app) and this thread came up. I am disgusted with London Irish and the two sponsors of the club I recognise- Guinness and Paddy whiskey. 
They are not moving until summer 2020 unfortunately...one more season in Reading

My OP was meant to say NOT very articulate 
.
Belfast Feminist Network explains the situation well.
"It is interesting to note that current LIRFC head coach Les Kiss was director of rugby at Ulster Rugby during the time when the rape accusation was made against Jackson and LIRFC director of rugby Declan Kidney also coached Jackson in his early days playing for Ireland. His move from French club Perpignan just one year after the conclusion of the rape case under the direction of these two influential men in Irish rugby leads us to question whether they learnt anything from the public outcry at Jackson’s behaviour. LIRFC’s social media posts today celebrating Jackson’s sporting achievements, even calling him ‘Irish fly-half’ with no acknowledgement of the circumstances as to why he no longer occupies that role, is disrespectful to all those who were caused such pain and distress through his words, attitudes and behaviour towards a young woman. While Ulster rugby took measures to address the legacy of this case for their club, doing the right thing by sacking the two players and undertaking training in consent and healthy relationships, ironically as Jackson and Olding left before that was put in place they are the least likely participants in the whole situation to have undergone any rehabilitation activities or been forced to examine their behaviour and learn from it."
