REFERENDUM ANALYSIS
If you haven't received your analysis of the referendum, looking at why the media were the real Yes campaigners, what the exit polls tell us, what the pro-life movement can do now, and more, it's just been made available online.
VOTING ISSUES
The Irish electoral register has long been known to have significant issues, both in relation to the numbers registered and in relation to the seemingly arbitrary removal of people from the list. Subsequent governments have known about these issues and have largely either ignored them or denied they exist, as for instance we saw in 2016 when the matter was investigated and there were found to be at least 488,000 too many people on the register. The response of the government was to simply deny the truth of the report and to continue to refuse to move on the issue.
