Ireland voted on Friday in a referendum on allowing same-sex marriage, and it passed overwhelmingly.
Since I have previously produced a Google map of Ireland’s parliamentary constituencies (download it here), I thought I would put together a quick map showing the shape of the vote by constituency.
The ‘no’ case won in only one constituency: Roscommon-South Leitrim.
The ‘yes’ case did particularly well in Dublin, winning over 70% in nine out of twelve constituencies. The worst ‘yes’ vote in Dublin was 66.4% in Dublin North-East.
Here’s praying that the Dubliners in particular don’t go feral on Roscommon-South Leitrim for its “no” vote.
Great result in Ireland. Many of the countries which have introduced Marriage Equality are Roman Catholic. Says a great deal about what people in those countries have had to endure from religion. Greenland has since introduced Marriage Equality. The vote in Parliament there was 27 Yes, 2 Abstentions. The countdown is on here in Australia. Makes me realise what an arch-conservative, bigoted, homophobic, political elite we have in this country and an anti-democratic Prime Minister! The great Liberal Party of personal choice and freedoms! What a mammoth lie!
