It could be that women in general feel more motivated to vote in this referendum than in other referenda. There are more women than men who are stay-at-home parents and will have been in a position to have voted in the morning. It will be interesting to see if voting picks up again after 5pm. Do men (as a general class) feel just as motivated as women to vote in this referendum? (BTW - before I'm attacked - I'm trying to point to a fact that in the general population there are more women than men who are stay-at-home parents - I'm not making some sort of sexist point about the role of women in society!) I'd be very surprised if the turnout was higher than the SSM referendum. I'd say it will be roughly the same or lower.

Little worried on some articles saying turn out jumped significantly as people left morning religious services. Most of those votes likely to be no. Higher turnout of women is likely a positive sign. Fair point by leo to.. If you are drinking in a beer garden in Dublin city centre some people won't go home to vote.. Hopeful it will be a yes.

No doubt you have heard about the upcoming referendum to repeal the 8th amendment. Myself and Gran have talked a lot about this and which way we might vote, we don't know yet. We are thinking that no matter which way we vote neither of us will ever have to make a decision about a real life situation. We are thinking that it may be something you both may have to face someday. (hope not but who knows). 16 & 17 yr old of today may be affected, the problem is ye don't have a vote. I am asking you to have a serious think about the referendum and if you had a vote which way would you vote ? Let us know because we want to give you our votes, you tell us and we will vote that way. Maybe even in a class discussion ask other classmates to ask their grandparents for their votes. Ye don't have a vote but ya should have a voice. What do you think of the idea. Nana & Granda They both have had a vote and I feel good about that
