The #HomeToVote hashtag is making pretty much everyone cry today...

There's been quite a lot of people flying into Ireland today...

This morning, polling began for the Referendums on same sex marriage and the age of the President and over the last 24 hours something amazing happened.

The Irish abroad have returned in their droves to vote in these important referendums.

Last night, an image was captured in Dublin airport with a queue of people waiting to get through passport control. Most were coming home to vote.

"It’s a denial of a human right" - Seán Moncrieff on the #MarRef

The campaign, the notion of balance and where he stands on the referendum

One of the ostensible oddities of the current set of media rules in Ireland is that I am forbidden from talking about the referendum on radio – a 24 hour moratorium for broadcast media kicked in at 2pm on Thursday – but I can write about it on this website. On radio, I’m also forbidden from expressing a view about the central issue, but I can do so freely here or in the print media.

It’s always unwise to generalize, but I’m going to do so anyway: many people in broadcasting find the first regulation ridiculous, but see some logic in the second one.

I’m the reverse.

The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has warned consumers to boil all imported frozen berries for at least one minute before consumption.

The FSAI have reiterated the warning following an outbreak of norovirus in Sweden and Hepatitis A in Australia, both linked to the consumption of frozen berries.

The FSAI says there is no indication that any batches of infected berries have been imported into Ireland.

Polling stations are reporting high turn-outs

Voting's continuing this evening in the two referendums and the Dáil by-election.

Turnout is estimated at around 30% across the country - higher than expected for this time of the day - and could be the highest for any Irish referendum ever.

But some polling stations nationwide reported queues outside their doors at seven o'clock this morning when the polls opened.
