Agreed. Calling counties backwards that bloody had a majority YES vote too. Even if every constituency went with YES, one still has to be the lowest! Silly carry on.

Just lifting the rug and shining a light.

Is it not being a sore loser though?

"Don't celebrate too hard lads, you'll hurt my feelings".

We've moved on from mothers dying unessecarily and you don't want celebrations?

Wtf?
This has nothing to do with winning or losing.
There has to be a sensitivity around abortion. The existance of potential human beings will be ended and in the vast majority of cases nothing to do whatsoever with dangers of mothers dying.
Whether you voted yes or no the mature response is sensitivity. The immature response is wildly celebrating.

Roscommon-Galway.
57.2% yes vs 42.8% no.

One of the lowest rates.

What is it with the whesht and norn-iron counties being a bit backwards?

They are not backward. In fact they show true civilisation

Michael is fairly tall. Well he looked tall standing a bit away from him last Sunday.

Nope, I hope its religious out of schools.

What I plan on doing in the next week is finding out what you need to do to become a charity and try and find out what charity work IONA do. Where are they when the homeless need them, the walk into night mental health services, I have them in my sights.

I'm in Mattie's constituency, what's my chances of getting him to help me.

Doesn't change the facts though. Still backwards.

Except it doesn't. Ulster does not equal Northern Ireland, or Norn Iron as you put it. Secondly, all results so far show majority YES votes. Ignorant comments.

By voting yes?

You'd wanna start dealing in facts then, because you're making an absolute fool of yourself.

Apologies. It's now called North-west.

You can be as salty and chippy as you like, but when you consistently vote in lower proportion in favour of progressive change, then people have a right to question why that is.

Also there is no Connacht/Ulster constituency outside of European elections.

Some people talk about others as if they are open and progressive, but when it comes to having a different viewpoint, they are closed to people who don't share their viewpoint, putting up a barrier that doesn't need to be put up.
Or else they have issues with democracy.

If he ensured to do his christian duty and insisted that all fornication be for procreational reasons, he would not be in that mess.

You do realise that the Ireland of today is a multi cultural country and being a husband is not exclusive to christian’s so please do stop spouting tripe.

Just so that you can understand my position in all this. I would love to have more kids but my wife has categorically said no since our youngest (16 next month) was born. If it turned out that my wife was pregnant and decided to have an abortion I would be absolutely devastated (not sure how things would work out, hopefully never happens) but she is fully aware of my feelings on that I would be 100% against it.

However that did not stop me from voting a resounding yes as I have seen first hand down the years the turmoil that this has caused girls, women and families. Too many times has a guy got a girl pregnant and it has been left to the girl to deal with the consequences.

I am not getting into a discussion about what is right and wrong but we live in a democracy and decisions like this should be allowed to each individual affected

That won't happen.

The RCC still control the bulk of primary schools.

And the growth of the RoP points to faith schools having a strong future, like they do in the UK.

For me, drugs are the next fight.

By dirty patches I take it you mean standing up for the unborn?

Your posts are increasingly disturbing. As I advised a bit of sensitivity wouldn't go amiss. You didn't win the lottery here. The losers are not posting on this thread. The losers have yet to be conceived but of course we are no longer allowed talk about them.

I feel Irish society has come full circle in a horrific way. Now it is no longer seen as acceptable to represent or give a say in any way shape or form to unborn children.

Along with other recent scandals and corruption in Irish life in the health, banking and justice departments and presided over by the same politicians who are advocating unrestricted abortion up to 12 weeks this country truely has gone downhill.

In a referendum it is very much quantity that matters

Quantity is basically the only thing that matters in a referendum, sorry to break it to you.

It's 100% over now, No is 600,000 votes behind with less than 500,000 votes to be counted
