Opponents argued that the wording of the changes was poorly thought out and some voters said they feared changes would lead to unintended consequences.
It’s a massive failure of the government to not get these through. Recognising non-marriage based families and recognising women outside of the home are so easy to get voted in and yet they managed to fuck it up.
The wording was suspicious, they ignored the advice of the Attorney General, and the lack of communication about it all didn’t help. I don’t watch TV and all I got was one leaflet in the post, not really an education on it.
Then the Taoiseach went on TV and the clip circulated of him laughing at the idea the State should support and care for its citizens. I reckon any on the fence were pushed to No on that alone.

He really let the mask slip. It was disgusting to watch. The care vote was doomed in those 30 seconds.
He is a dickhead, he is the most obvious arse licking populist ever. He would ride his own mother if he thought it would put him in a positive light or give him a decent headline.
He has no spine. A gay man who opposed gays adopting until the popular vote showed the countrt supported it and then he was leading pride parades. Wanker.
