With just 24 days remaining before the country goes to the polls to determine whether to make a 34th and 35th amendment to the constitution, Irish bookmakers Paddy Power has revealed the odds its offering on whether the vote on same-sex marriage will pass. 

And in true Paddy Power style, they've designed a campaign that's bound to raise a few eyebrows and set social media alight.

Using the Irish-language phrase Tiocfaidh ár lá, meaning 'Our day will come', a slogan notoriously used by members of the republican movement in the cause for a united Ireland. The image then shows two men, supposedly terrorists, wearing balaclavas while embracing on the happiest day of their lives. 

The odds announcement is currently being driven around the capital, with Paddy Power revealing that it believes the Yes side will pass with odds of 10/1 on, while the No side is running at 5/1. 

If you are unregistered to vote, you can still do so by May 5th. You can find details of how to register at newstalk.com/useyourvote.
