Irish Times Exit Poll - Landslide For Yes Predicted

[Hardun]

Polling stations were packed yesterday morning so many out voting. I thought it would be close run.

Can we sell Donegal?

Can Irish counties enact their own regulations/restrictions to get around the repeal? Could Donegal make them illegal in county?

For instance in the U.S. no state can outright ban abortions, but each state can (and many do) place some regulations on them (parental consent for minors seeking abortions, 3 day waiting periods, etc).

In a word NO. Same law throughout twenty-six counties.

And six-counties must be feeling the pressure. Especially the DUP and the SDLP. Surely Westminster should act to bring Northern Ireland into line with the rest of the UK, especially with the assembly not sitting.

And repeal Morrow's stupid anti-escort law while they are at it!

Still, it would have been interesting to have had a referendum on "paying for sex" to see what the actual percentages would be.

I remember years ago someone describing the North as a pimple on the arsehole of Europe. Now probably 40 years later we're still full of puss
