74% of the people wish to vote for state sponsored child abuse and abduction…… Well I’m dumbfounded… but then the yes side of the campaign have 8million +++ in state funding and the NO side have ZERO EURO to voice their side of the debate…. Why is it that 3 ministers have stated that the NO side should get NO AIR TIME on TV and Radio……….. Don’t be duped by these lying parasites…. VOTE NO to protect kids
Surprise, surprise! No air time for the “No” side, and 74% are going to vote yes! Just shows how brain-washed this government has ye all!
@Frank 2521 ,these ppl dont know the meaning of the word shame ,they will still strut around as if they are blameless in all this while every citizen for decades to come will pick up the tab !!
Marion you are very badly informed. It’s the government you should blame as they guaranteed the banks which mean we pay now. Sean Quinn never intended the public to pay for his mistakes.
The previous government I should add just encased anyone gets confused.
Why all the thumbs down when what I’m saying is factually correct. Do people not like the truth? Blinded by media spin? Who knows.
Is that Mrs Quinn or Karen Woods ?? She must be very ashamed of him.
sorry he said the NO side was winning the journal.ie poll , now they come out with this!
@Amy Croffey: amy how or where was poll conducted on the children’s referendum?
Regards Ian.
Ian, here’s a link to the poll: http://www.thejournal.ie/redc-poll-childrens-rights-referendum-642356-Oct2012/
@amy Croffey.with all due respect Amy, that link gives no info on how or where the poll was conducted.
I don’t buy this poll , the other day Joe burns was on the radio telling them they yes side is ahead on the journal.ie poll and now 3 days later this appears, bullshit !
