I've the alarm set for 6am so I can drive home to my place in NCD (about 2 hours) to vote, turn around and head back to my other home on the farm. However I've a cow in the calving pen that may scupper my early morning plans.
Edit to add - remember to bring your driving licence or passport with you for identification and your polling card.
Fair play to you base. There's a fire under alot of us to show this lot we still have a voice.
I’ll be down to vote at seven. I don’t trust this bunch of cretins and the ditch has got the memo which shows what a sh1t show this is. Lies and withholding information. The letter from the AG to the minister saying advising them of what a disaster this would be has been leaked. Twitter or Facebook the ditch has it.
Vote early, vote often 😁
Not at all, that us if the main problem that it will be negative for carers? In this article the main concern expressed by the AG is that "strive" may be interpreted by the courts as having a more onerous meaning than "endeavour" and thus increasing the states duty towards these people, especially vulnerable people in the eyes of the courts, who are most likely to challenge it.
This is a good thing as it, quite simply, enables the constitutional amendment to fulfill its role as steering legislation for the betterment of society, rather than the original anomalous and obsolete effort at casual misogyny we currently have.
The promotion of this article as supporting a No vote could only be endorsed by Scrooge like accountants.
Another reason to vote Yes, Yes here.
Still no no here and most people ive talked to about it are the same. I cant trust these dear leaders one bit after the last few years. Hopefully the silent majority will turn out today and vote to show were not going to pander to the fairly vocal minority.
So you’ve read the AGs advice to the government and that what you e taken from it. Read the leaked memo again. The problem here is the downright disregard for voters by with holding this letter. The state is us the taxpayers paying for all this scutter.
I’ve yet to meet someone that’s voting yes. I know as farmers we’re in rural areas and I’m sure urban opinion might differ but it’s a resounding no no from anyone I know or have spoken to about it.
FYI
Done and dusted. No & No
Just back from voting.emphatically NO to ffg.
Just passed the voting station there few mins ago. Car park was packed this morning, is empty now but that might change when all the yes voters get out of bed.

What a sh1tshow.
Just back from #NoNoF*ckFFG. I haven't been as angry in a school since I got my first wedgie in 4th class.
Voted early and No/No
just saw on Twitter- those numbers can’t be right.
Same done now.
It's quite telling with the responses on any politician's twitter of them casting their yes vote
Voted No No. to the nonsense. Mid-day. Surprisingly busy, one teen announced it was her first time voting.
My dad went in to vote his No/No today around 11am- the lady at the poll said it was a surprisingly busy morning.
There is a budget every autumn, fiver and tenners given to people in need, the worst off in our society. While they increase carbon taxs, household charges, they have sat on their holes while the cost of providing for a family is gone out of all control.
They are cutting down the resource teacher hours in our school from September.
You think they give a shhit about careers.
I don't know the reason behind these changes but it's not for the good of you and me
Holly is probably much too busy digging the foundations for the new love nest that Cork County Council gave her planning permission for last December.
(And, when she's finished that, she's going to start building the 50,000 new houses a year that she promised us in her Leader's Speech last month!) 😂
What,what !!!
In Ballymore, Co Westmeath presiding officers there felt they were running slightly ahead of average, with about 20% turnout. One thing officers did notice there was a number of repeat names on the register.
Donald approves
Entire family voting no no and everyone at work voting no no as well 👍🏻
Voted there, was a queue , never a queue in our local polling station. Voted no,no. My dad said earlier it's the first time he doesn't know what way to vote, doesn't understand it. I just said if unsure vote no. Daughter came with me, not registered to vote...
The two bio's won't be in any hurry calling a general election now
That’s a pity, hopefully she’ll get set-up soon
That's what it is all about. Have these mickey mouse referendums coming to to an election to deflect away from the real issues. Irish cute hoorism at it's best. Might backfire this time.
I think this was one of the Green party's programme for government requirements. There was supposed to be a big government swing to get this through. Obviously didn't really happen and it was mostly some in government and then all of the green party trying their best in the past few months. It was the some in government as they know a general election is on the way this year and this government as it stands likely won't be back in the same reincarnation.
A solicitor on the local radio station described this referendum as painting the house when the roof is caving in and the back door broken.
