I suppose this means I have to change my avatar now.

Hmmm. I was thinking of going back to the RSF-SSD insignia but that's an idea.

In ballot news, the first constituency to come back with a No result is Roscommon-South Leitrim.

This referendum was passed today, the final result was 62% Yes, 38% No.

Double post.

That turned out to be the only constituency that voted no, although a few of the border counties only passed it by a whisker. Overall it was passed by 62%.

No but plenty of people waving balloons and throwing glitter at each other.

That's amazing! For a country which is often thought of as being very conservative and religious, that's a great result.

A spanking!

As has been said it was the only one. Which reinforces my belief that the best use for Leitrim is as a giant reservoir.

And the other referendum was defeated nearly 4:1.

Let's hear it for Ireland!!

I was curious to see how Cavan-Monaghan would vote, as my sister lives in Cavan.
It only just squeaked through, apparently Monaghan alone would've been No but modern, liberal, forward-thinking Cavan dragged the constituency over the line.

The retreat from traditional Roman Catholicism in Ireland is truly impressive.

Next up Poland?

So, will Ireland now become a sort of Gretna Green for gay couples from Northern Ireland? That is the only nation on the British Isles which has no gay marriage yet.

Anyway, congrats to Ireland and kudos to the Irish people for this wise decision.

This is one example of the collapse of the influence of the catholic church. Certain boys paid a heavy price for this though.

Well, depends on the definition of "nation"; it's not allowed on the Isle of Man or the Channel Islands, either.

All right, Ireland!

Congratulations!
