Same-sex marriage referendum

The same-sex marriage referendum takes place on May 22 and the general feeling is that Irish people will vote ‘Yes’.

We surveyed our readers to get a more tangible figure on exactly how the vote is going to go.

We asked Irish people if they’re going to vote ‘Yes,’ ‘No,’ ‘Don’t know,’ or ‘Won’t vote.’ Here’s the response.
