The legislation allowing for the referendum to take place was passed through the Oireachtas on 28 March, with the date for the referendum set for Friday 25 May. This, in effect, marked the beginning of the campaign by both sides although rallies had taken place earlier in the month. An interesting development occurred in relation to online advertising in early May, when Facebook banned all ads related to the referendum from advertisers based outside of Ireland, with Google later banning all ads related to the referendum in their entirety. This move followed increasing concern both internationally and in Ireland about the unregulated nature of online advertising and the influence such ads have on democracy (see Weckler et al., 2018). The referendum was ultimately passed by a majority of 66 per cent in favour to 34 per cent against on a turnout of just over 64 per cent. The referendum was overwhelmingly approved in urban constituencies; only one constituency, Donegal, had a majority ‘No’ vote against the referendum.

  • GENERAL ELECTIONS in IRELAND 26Th October 2018
    GENERAL ELECTIONS IN IRELAND 26th October 2018 European Outgoing President of the Republic, Elections monitor Michael D. Higgins is re-elected to be the Irish head of State Corinne Deloy The outgoing President of the Republic, Michael D. Higgins, who was standing as an independent candidate, was re-elected as the Irish head of State with 55.81% of the vote Results on 26th October. He easily pulled ahead of all of his rivals, but to a lesser degree than forecast in the polls. The victory that had been predicted for the outgoing head of State undoubtedly dissuaded many of his fellow countrymen from turning out to ballot. Fewer than one Irishman in two fulfilled his civic duty: turnout totalled 43.87% (-12.24 points less than in the previous election on 27th October 2011), i.e. the lowest turnout ever recorded for a presidential election. Independent candidate Peter Casey came second in Fein (SF) candidate Liadh Ni Riada won 6.38%, and the election with 23.25% of the vote. Sean Gallagher Joan Freeman (independent), 5.96%. Gavin Duffy (independent) won 6.41% of the vote; the Sinn (independent) closed the list with 2.18% of the vote.
