Tempany’s YOUR QUALITY CATERING SUPPLIER
A
S the government licks its wounds following an embarrassing result in the weekend’s Seanad Referendum, the voting patterns throughout the country show a glaring disparity in opinions between east and west and the significance of the large Dublin voting bloc. The result, which was much closer than expected and went against what all the earlier opinion polls had indicated, revealed that 12 out of 12 Dublin constituencies voted to retain the Second Chamber. The proposal to amend the Constitution was defeated by an overall margin of just 42,500 votes, with the largest No vote coming in the Dublin South East Constituency at 61.33 per cent. Dublin North Central also had the highest voter turnout in the country at 48.23 per cent. By contrast, the biggest Yes vote was recorded in the Taoiseach’s home county of Mayo with 57.46 per cent of voters in favour of scrapping the Seanad. In Sligo-North Leitrim the Yes vote was 50.76 per cent, while in Roscommon - South Leitrim the Yes side recorded 51.67 per cent. Galway East recorded a Yes margin of 51.37 per cent with Galway West the only western constituency with a narrow No margin at 50.88 per cent. Cavan-Monaghan recorded a Yes Vote of 54.87 and Clare voted for abolition with a Yes Vote of 51.33 per cent. Further north-west in Donegal the No vote won by a slender majority, 51.69 and 50.42 per cent. While the result is sure to raise many questions, particularly in Fine Gael, as to how the campaign to abolish the Seanad was run, if the margin was closer it would have raised even further questions as there was approximately 14,500 spoilt votes.
