@DaraghCassidy Are people from Kingstown now claiming to be marginalised after being isolated on #famref? 😄
We are hearing of people with disabilities having difficulties voting on Friday due to accessibility issues.
If you were affected please let us know.

@KevDoyle_Indo The legal geniuses in your replies not understanding that only one of those relationships will ever be recognised, regardless of whether #FamRef passes.
Then maybe you should have left well enough alone or have allowed proper debate on #famref in the Dáil/Seanad, maybe not allowed @nealerichmond reveal the impact on immigration and perhaps legally define a "durable relationship".
It's too late to play Mrs. Flanders.

“I don’t want hundreds of thousands of children to wake up to the news that Ireland has decided that their family is not a constitutional family”
—Taoiseach @LeoVaradkar on the upcoming referendum on family
This is exactly the point Steen was making. You don't have to recognise polygamy or bigamy if #famref passes, you just have to prove it's a "durable relationship" which is a MUCH lower threshold and once proven you can bring in "family" members.
Martin knows this as well.

@colombo1865 @TomOHanlon17 Maria knows that polygamy or bigamy is not recognised in Ireland or the EU . She should know that any previous applications to bring in more than on legal partner have always been soundly rejected , here and in Europe..
I missed this debate live.

I tried to find it to listen back but it doesn't appear to be on the newstalk website. Why not?
@NewstalkFM @PatKennyNT
Will you please make this available online?

#VoteYesYes #VoteNoNo
I was on @PatKennyNT ‘s show today on @NewstalkFM, debating the very wonderful @fergusfinlay, chiefly on the matter of the proposed removal of Article 41.2, with its recognition of the value to society of women’s work in the home and the removal of the ‘economic necessity’ right to choose afforded to women by Art. 41.2.2.
We touched on the central role that the @NWCI (90% government funded) NGO is playing in this referendum and the fact that the NWCI has not asked the opinion of the women and mothers it is supposed to represent. We also touched on the fact that the NWCI is not, currently, acting in the best interests of women and mothers. [I still have every faith in the real feminists in the NWCI]
Myself and Fergus had a robust debate. It went out live. Surprisingly, every other slot in Pat Kenny’s show, including items about plants and cocaine use, have been uploaded to the PK podcast as Highlights.
I would have thought that a robust political debate between the former head of Barnardo’s, a veritable national treasure, and a Louth and Proud writer, who has written extensively on the legal and practical ramifications of the referenda on social media and in the mainstream media, and who is a spokeswoman for the non-hierarchical, non-partisan feminist and women’s rights advocacy group, The Silenced Protest, would automatically be a *highlight* of the show.
Given that we are one month away from a very important referendum and given that @NewstalkFM aired an interview with Ian O’Doherty several hours afterwards, where censorship was discussed, does @NewstalkFM have any explanation for this omission?
Are NGOs or government departments stifling pro-democracy debate? Are media outlets self-censoring and/or coming under pressure to self censor from government or NGOs?

When are broadcasters going to do their public service duty and provide balance in these interviews on #famref?
Once date and text are known, the McKenna ruling on fairness should kick in.
Minister Simon Harris has called on all parties to "pull together" ahead of next years referendum on women's duties in the home, while Labour's Aodhán Ó Ríordáin warns of a potential lack of energy due to wording | Listen to RTÉ's Your Politics Podcast: https://t.co/wZcAKEp2Bs
This is another nail in the coffin of #famref. If you don't need to be married to get a partner's pension, then just leave well enough alone.
Don't put something ambiguous like "other durable relationships" into the constitution, if the government can't define them.

Níor cheapas riamh go mbeinn ag cur túiv mar seo amach agus mé i mbun taighde dlí bunreachtúil ar #famref ach... buíochas le @tearma_ie d'fhoghlaim mé inniu go bhfuil Gaeilge againn ar "throuple" : triúpla
Pic 1 is letter I sent to TDs
Pic 2 is response from Fine Gael:
Honestly, how can anyone take media waffle about "misinformation" seriously when the Irish Times allowed this flat out lie - no other word for it - to be published in its pages about the upcoming referendum on women?
The state does not "keep women from careers or employment".
Strong arguments from @OrlaNWCI in support of a Yes vote on both the referendums on Family and Care taking plane on 8 March 🗳️
‘Progressive’ organisations must explain any decision not to support referendum, says Minister https://t.co/dconfA1QbH
@Ben_Scallan What steps will the new Electoral Commission be taking to ensure there isn’t a tsunami of Soros money bankrolling the NGOs to campaign for a yes vote in #famref and #careref ? | @john_mcguirk
@education_irish @FatEmperor @3bucksleft1 @AislingOLoughl1 @LFJIreland @ThePosieParker @Ben_Scallan @IrishSecondary @EndWokeness Neale Richmond says the intent of the ‘durable relationship’ provision is to facilitate family reunification. Joe O’Brien says every migrant they’re importing is on a ‘path to permanency’ i.e. citizenship. The state estimates that each migrant will bring 20-70 relatives. VOTE NO.
There's a school of thought that #famref and #careref were worded and timed by FF & FG to fail, with 3 things in mind;
1:Let the electorate blow off steam before #le24/#ep24
2:Promote the idea of some "far right" being influential
3:Expose @rodericogorman
