Ireland might be a lot of things but a modern democracy it is not. It's about 20 years behind the rest of Europe thanks to the CC but is slowly catching up over generations.
Consider that it took them until the mid 90s to pass a divorce law and it took a U2 supported court case in 1991 to allow condoms to be sold in Virgin megastores when Aids was coming to the forefront. Not to mention that where parents did split up the child always went to the mother regardless of the facts that she might be a nutjob who abused her children whilst the father was the more stable one (case in point Sinead O'Connor).
Was there about 3 weeks ago. Catholic church still has its grubby little hands stuck into affairs that are none of its business. The grip is loosening though over generations.
Great ad, Realistically and sadly though, I can't see this getting the popular people's vote to pass.
