Percentage chance this strike doesn't go ahead on Friday Mr Wasabi?

I see the Minister has come out this evening and given assurances that no staff would be forced to move to a new employer, and if they did go voluntarily that they would keep their terms and conditions.
This should be a welcome announcement by the unions, and I can see the strike being called off while they trash out a few more assurances from the Minister, now that he seems to have become involved.
I reckon the strike won't go ahead now at all.

[Lazare]

I'd say that's absolute money in the bank. Given the likely turnout, the elderly trying to keep us pure will no doubt push the no vote up uncomfortably. Didn't we have a ridiculously high no vote on that recent referendum asking for permission to take kids away from parents who are physically abusing them.

There should be an upper age limit on the eligibility to vote in referenda. People heading for the exit shouldn't be able to decide on important matters concerning those hanging around.

[Fiery Wasabi]

On another note, we're flying to Nice tomorrow. (Not for the EPT Monaco,Danny unfortunately) although we might see you in the airport for a beer if you are around.It's the 12.40 Ryanair flight.
@Honda, what will the queues be like then, and what time should I be in the airport at ?
Thanks.

Looking for the Yes vote to be under 68%. Couldn't really care less about gay marriage tbf.

Spent the day in the Wesht today, feeling like I have connected with my No constituency and now back to feeling emboldened.

Literally going to walk in under 68%. I'm punting hard on the unders on 62.5% and I'm seriously of the opinion we are looking at something like 54-46

Pretty awesome conversation heard today between two auld lads in the bookies

Old timer #1 : now I'm not a bit racist but by god do I hate them foreigners, our taxes paying the dole they get in our country.

Old timer #2 : oh I wouldn't be racist either but I agree with you, make them work for their money, every house should have one of them as a servant

Love the clarification that they are not racist though. Ireland must have been an awful place 30 years ago

Voting No on the president age ref.

Should raise it imo, it's the job of an oul dude.

[Kayroo]

The Dublin vs rest of country divide is ridic in any referendum involving morals.

Was looking it up as was thinking of whether 10.5+ constituencies might vote against gay marriage. When you look at some of those areas you'd really wonder. Kerry North, for example, was reasonably closely divided on whether or not the country should execute people. Is the local farmer ambling into the booth with shite on his wellies really going to ever be thinking 'lets do this for the gays'. And there's a lot of those constituencies.

Donegal being made into 1 constituency isn't helping you here. The No County

Interesting, my gut instinct would be that the new constituencies don't apply until the next GE. e.g., if a Donegal North TD died tomorrow there would be a byelection where just the people of DN vote, the people of Donegal South wouldn't have a vote.
So it would seem logical that Donegal would still be two constituencies for the purpose of vote counting in a referendum during this Dail?

I've posted about this before. I work with some very religious country bumpkins and they're friends call in every day for tea and a gossip. I asked a few months ago what way they would vote and there was a few murmurs, a few no voters and nothing much was said. I've been pushing the convo the last week or so and now we have some very strongly held views and they're all no voters. The age range is 21-60ish. As said before its a sample size of about 10/12 people but these people have families and communities will vote the same way down here.

There are more no voters than we know about because people will not openly admit to being a no voter.

I asked my boss what about if one of his boys turned out to be gay. He wasn't happy that I even suggested that and said there's no way a son of his would "be a gay".

An Irish version of the Bradley effect is quite likely to be in play in this referendum

[CHDad]

Kerry and the south is about 53 years behind m8.

[ArmaniJeans]

meh it's 1/20

Not having seen the odds before I thought it would be a 5/6 5/6 heat.
Would it not be an automatic Yes for 80% of people aged 18-34, meaning they'd only need to get around 33% of the vote from over 35s.

[RichieM]

Will divorce legislation as stands cover same sex marriage or will there need to be amendments to it? Just out of interest but will be pretty funny if down a referendum was needed for gay divorce. Which way would the holy joes vote. Anti divorce but pro gays no longer being married.

I know it's same sex marriage and I would imagine amendments don't require new referendums but would be great just watch the debates

Words "husband" and "wife" don't appear anywhere in the Family Law (Divorce) Act 1996. The term used is "spouse" which is gender neutral. Pretty sure the Act is more or less fit for purpose.

[Strewelpeter]

I had a very interesting conversation about the equality referendum with a group of elderly Irish nuns all living for a long time in South Africa. They really didn't have much to say about the subject at hand, I could sense their distaste for the subject but an understanding that the world and civil society in Ireland has passed them by. Because it had been on the RTE news that morning we talked about Mary McAleese's position and they were all delighted that she took on the bishops and without saying anything controversial applauded her decision to stand up for her son ahead of the stated position of the church they share.

The bolded bit is the reason opinion polls on this issue aren't worth a shit.

I think Kayroo is correct, this will be really close. It really needs a big turnout to carry it over the line, it's encouraging to hear colleges really pushing hard to get people to register, Newstalk are doing a great job too in this regard.

It's an absolute disgrace that we're even voting on such an issue, what right do I have to have a say on somebody else's personal life?

In fifty years time we'll be embarrassed to look back and say this was something that people were voting against.


Opponents to SSM are no different to opponents of inter racial marriage or opponents to women's suffrage imo. They just live in a different time.

Just reading through the official votes on each amendment of the constitution here. Page 63 contains the referendum results on abolishing the death penalty - 610,455 vote in favour of abolition, and a whopping 372,950 want to keep it.

Ironic, but not unsurprising given Kerry probably has the highest amount of repressed and closeted homosexuals in the land. You aren't allowed out in Kerry.

People should vote yes just to give that rotten corrupt fairytale pushing organisation, also known as the Catholic Church, a massive fuck you.

Vote Yes for fuck you religion.

[mdoug]

No voters are a bunch of pussies.
The fact that they literally are afraid to admit they are voting no is a sign in itself.



Homosexuality was not accepted back in the olden times which is a known fact and they are agreeing with those homophobic people from decades ago? Pathetic

I know nothing about the bible and if it is actually stated that no man shall lay with another man, but if it is then I can somewhat accept religious people voting no. I mean they stand for something and they have beliefs. People who are voting no because they don't like gays is just utterly pathetic imho.
That is all.

Ridiculous levels of optimism in this Noonan statement (difficulty level: Indo article). Probably none of the optimism excessive either. Going to be a fun five years, or at least 2020 will be excellent!

They need to sort out childcare though up to age of 18. Proper support for funding creches, schools open 8-6pm with extracurricular activities. Summer options. Like just about every other country in Europe. Its the biggest destroyer of quality of life post 30. You can't set up a country on the lines of: you'll have a spectacular 20s and then you're fcked.


Also, am impressive side effect of the rise of SF has been the realisation by FG/Lab that they're never getting those votes, so fck 'em and concentrate on the 'squeezed middle'. The middle class finally have political representation!

I think that's essentially what the bible passage says.
"Thou shalt not lie with mankind, as with womankind: it is abomination"

The same part of the bible forbids sex with your mother in law, so who ever wrote it was casting a pretty wide net. Wouldn't be taking it too seriously
