The current Seanad will cease to exist on 29 March, day before polling day (Art 18.9). Taoiseach's 11 nominees can't be appointed until Dáil elects new Taoiseach (Art 18.3). What are consequences of this? A thread! 1/10

The family referendum largely comes down to symbolism rather than practical effects. If you want to use the Constitution to signal the importance of marriage as the basis for family life, you should vote no. If you want to send the opposite signal, you should vote yes. 29/

The #irexit candidate (IFP) for Dublin Bay South was beaten by spoiled votes. I hope this registers with some folk elsewhere #hottakesfromafar #ge2020

So here's my new chart. Will the 2020s turn out like the 50s and 60s - more amendments rejected than approved? Roll on the Unified Patent Court ...
