Ireland for the Irish ☘️
Yeah but did you hear about the results of the vote 🤦. I dont think things are peachy keen jelly bean over there to be honest.
This tran lefties want yes from ireland we vote no up your
When can we expect a video on why the Irish referendum failed spectacularly?
If this hadn’t been put to the vote, we would currently be being told that ‘the evidence shows the majority of the public supports this’. Just goes to show how manipulative these surveys are.
Ireland needs to stop importing savages before the savages show the west why being racist hot is so far
You should do a comprehensive video on Irelands vote and this resounding defeat of government. How huge NGO’s like the national women’s council tried to force this through on International Women’s Day branding it as the feminist thing to do when it was the opposite. How Sinn Fein have alienated themselves as opposition from the public.
The Irish Fiscal Advisory Council's long-term sustainability report in July 2020 had bad news for Ireland's public finances over the coming decades with a rapidly aging population, the old age dependency ratio is projected to more than double from 22% to 47% by 2050. Government spending on state pensions, public service pensions, health, and long term care will increase as the population ages. Spending growth will outstrip the rise in revenues leading to budget deficits
The housing crisis is having a knock-on effect on the labour market with young workers unable to afford rents. The Irish govt has provided free housing for young working age asylum seekers, has legislated that they must engage with the government's public employment services for training, has pushed for cutting the waiting time for a work visa to 2 months for non-Ukrainians, and wants family reunification made easier so asylum seekers can bring in more family members.
The duty of care in the constitution specified a "mother" and her duties of care "in the home" – so the duty of care was to her young children within her own household. Expanding that to care 'between members of a family to each other' while at the same time expanding the definition of 'family' broadened that to include care for elderly parents and grandparents. Nursing homes are closing down all over the country to be repurposed as buildings of multiple occupation to to accommodate single working-age male foreign asylum seekers instead of economically inactive Irish pensioners
Ireland's population is aging. The old age dependency ratio is one retiree to four working-age people. By 2050, this is forecast to be closer to 1:2. The housing crisis has left young Irish workers stuck living at home with their parents unable to start a family, or forced to emigrate. The only young workers that can afford to move to work in Ireland, particularly in low paid sectors, are asylum seekers who can claim free housing, healthcare, food, etc. etc., plus a work permit to work fulltime while having no rent or bills to pay. The "mother's duties in the home" implies the care in question is for the young children of the mother's own household. Replacing it with 'care within the family' while at the same time expanding the definition of 'family' broadens that burden of care to elderly parents and grandparents – and nursing homes are closing all over the country to be turned into buildings of multiple occupation to accommodate young foreign male asylum seekers who are working in the economy rather than elderly Irish people who are economically inactive and are on pensions
The Irish government once again proving how out of touch they really are…
Ireland overwhelmingly rejected both proposals. Government amazingly out of touch with the electorate.
Now Ireland needs a referendum on migration.
Oops … Leprechauns said … Not me pot o'gold!
"If you wanna keep learning…" I do, but you guys are news reporter and part entertainer. I don't learn with your content.
Er, WHY are philosophical MUSINGS even part of a constitution? How could one base any kind of legal ruling on these? It's word salad.
Well that didn't go as expected 😂
Your going to regret that, future cat Ladies.Ask American women, if they're fulfilled with no children.
Welp, the neo-nazis in Ireland won by spreading misinformation, it was a No No result
Fascists are claiming ideological victory for this defeat of "woke", when the reality is a protest vote against FineGael and FiannaFáil's giddy antics amongst wave after wave of scandals, not to mention the outcry of disability activists who campaigned for a No on the care vote
There is no broad concession that the constitution is outdated. The only people saying that are the traiters in the dail. God bless the irish people for standing up for common sense.
IT DOES NOT SAY WOMEN MUST STAY IN THE HOUSE.
Every mother and grandmother in my town and the towns around it voted NO. Why are most women voting no if its sexist?
BIGGEST NOs in irish history 😂😂😂
No!
The EPP could have done is long ago, don't trust them now.
