    This evening was a little disheartening seeing the No campaigners out in full force on O Connell St, but the Yes choir at the spire and then coming home to this picture on Twitter made me realise, this is really happening, and our people are coming home in droves to make it happen, so beautiful.

    Unfortunately, this is just a standard summer-season evening immigration queue in DUB.

    No. No. Its really not.

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Just back from voting. I live in an area that always has a lot of voter apathy but it was busy enough and all young people too so that's heartening.

    What time tomorrow will we have an idea of the result?

    No. No. Its really not.


    EDIT: Dang it, quoted the wrong post... but you all know what I mean

    Yes, yes it is... I'm living abroad, and couldn't get home (kids, hubby, life in general).

    I've got quiet the number of Irish Friends here, and some were in that crowded shot.
    The majority of people in that crowd we going home to vote, and vote yes. I believe
    the atmosphere was UNREAL, even just waiting to go to PP control. Everyone home
    to vote and PROUD to be voting yes.

    Give us expats a bit of trust and credit, we wan't this as much as the LGBT community
    does, both at home and abroad.

    I'm so nervous about the result, I get stomach flips everytime I think about it, I really
    hope it goes through and we've something to celebrate slagging off the Eurovision
    tomorrow night :)

    No. No. Its really not.

    It really is.

    There's lots of people coming back - but you could take that photo in both terminals in DUB every night this week - and until October or so.

    There were zero increases in flight capacity for last night and load factors are already very high. Its actually impossible in pure mathematics for the queues to have been significantly longer last night than any other night.

    DUB passport control is massively understaffed and missing any segregation of CTA and non-CTA passengers requiring full control so this is just normal.

    I'm old and off to bed. I hope to wake up in an Ireland where the old nonsense and priest ridden Shyte has been set aside. I m hoping the Irish people have seen through the smokescreen of bigotry about surrogacy and recognized the same mad voices that denied them contraception and divorce for generations with the same warped view of humanity. "Hope is a good thing maybe the best of things. "
