Hi Ireland I hope you don't mind questions from foreigns because I have two A) Is there any clarification as to what the gently caress went on with that boxing weigh-in shooting. I read that the CIRA have both claimed responsibility and denied it and it seems like the Garda think they were there along with the gangland shooters, plus the dressing up as a woman still seems like a classic dissident urban commando pretension, so is part / all of the CIRA that flagrantly deep into the drug trade or do they imagine another agenda or what is actually happening B) I know people joke about Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael being interchangeable, but I find it really hard to grasp what even the nominal distinction is between the parties as it seems nothing to do with typical European political division lines. Is there anything that would make an Irish voter choose one over the other, beyond who most recently hosed up in government Thank you for your time and best of luck generating a tolerable electoral outcome

Apologies in advance for the Foreign Person questions on a tense day but if I may: I was surprised that Ireland doesn't do postal votes for overseas citizens given there's so many, is this ever debated especially given it would seem a pretty big disadvantage for Yes or is there just concern re. the number and intent of people technically eligible for citizenship who have never set foot in the Republic And also this is speculative but if there weren't any neighbouring liberal countries amenable to giving safe abortions to Irish girls / women do you think the law would have changed already or that the country would be struggling to keep the lid on a backalley industry or what In any case I hope Ireland produces a better referendum outcome than we get in the UK

Thank you for responses to my questions and also congratulations on what looks to be a great result, the fact that it's not even particularly divisive across region and age group should spare Ireland any potential reactionary political fallout too I hope the Northern parties pay attention even if I realise that this isn't going to exactly endear DUP and TUV voters to reform
