[Mr.Bishie]

Fucking great result! Awesome

Not been keeping up with the results, but seems they were a bit of a divided county and had the highest and lowest in some areas. I'm enjoying all the #hometovote stories, and love the double rainbow that Dublin got today

Cavan-Monaghan is 50-50.

But it's y'know Monaghan, they're still struggling to get their heads around the whole Earth revolving around the sun business.

FUCK YEAH!

Passed in Cavan/Monaghan...only just but it passed!

FUCK YEAH!

You're up on Roscommon then

 

[JHE]

Very good news!

I remember when Ireland deserved its reputation as a priest-ridden country. That's changed.

Let's hope Northern Ireland catches up soon.

Chuffed to fucking bits with the result,made this exile a very happy and proud man,the likes of the Iona Institute and their ilk can go and fucking do one

A brilliant result - well done the good people of Ireland.

This makes NI stand out like a sore thumb as the only part of these islands not to have equal marriage. Hopefully it will lead to the law being changed there too.

good result. Double rainbow indicates that the sky beard agrees as well I recon.

That has made me smile.

Radio 4 was saying this morning that anyone who had left Ireland in the last 18 months was entitled to vote, but had to do so in person. Apparently lots of people returned to Ireland from all over the world just to vote.
Well done!

I met Enda once. When I told him I was an anthropologist he literaly took a step back away from me.

In the county of Mayo, where the shadows lie.

Any news of how Mayo voted?

But, hark! a voice like thunder spake,
The West's awake! the West's awake!
Sing, Oh! hurrah! let England quake,
We'll watch till death for Erin's sake,
Except Roscommon from where Waters hails,
they're still afraid of homo Gaels!
