Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald denies being “out of touch” with her base after she supported a ‘Yes/Yes’ vote in the apparently defeated referendums
Aontú’s Peadar Toibín says the projected defeat of the Yes campaign in #Referendum2024 is a rejection of the Government, & that the referendum was about politicians “virtue signalling.” He also called for a no confidence vote in Roderic O’Gorman, saying he “misled” the public.
Early tallies in the referendum indicate a massive ‘No’ victory, with some areas indicating a ‘No’ vote of over 75%. Ben Scallan reports from Dublin Castle:
“Completely corrupt.”
“It’s time for decisive action.”
“We stand by Ukraine for as long as it takes.”
“A scourge.”
“It’s an important decision.”
