That's a bigger percentage than a lot of the countries that passed marriage equality laws without a popular vote!

Well done, Irish people I wasn't sure they would say yes, and much less with such a comfortable victory, looks like Catholicism didn't affect their decision that much.

The influence of the Church has been irreversibly damaged over the past few decades. From Ann Lovett to the Ryan report, and everything else that has been discussed and revealed over the years, the Church's hypocritical and moralistic views just aren't acceptable to the majority of Irish people at this point.

Government Press Conference now happening.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny - "The answer is yes. Yes to their future, yes to their love, yes to their equal marriage."

Damn that's a low yes vote.
But at least it's a yes vote

Not when you consider that it is an entire country (not just political figures), so people indifferent about the issue wouldn't have bothered to vote. People against it are more likely to vote than people for/okay with it.

Yeah I guess that's true..

[UnusualBoy]

Ireland slaying, hopefully more countries will follow.

My home country has taste

I'm guessing the voting age was 18? So this won't include all the current teens who I'm sure are a lot more accepting than the older generations.
