Had the vote been held between 1993-2008, it would have easily passed. The mood has now shifted and it's not unlike Brexit or Trump's America where the people want a fantasy country back from the forces of liberal elite, media, WEF, EU, immigrants, whatever you're having yourself. Watch Brexiters in UK, Unionists, right wingers, Catholic Church cheer this result.The wordings were very weak. They ignored the Citizens Assembly . There was no pre legislative scrutiny in the Dail. The Government will now have to look seriously into disability respite and funding. It was a good day for democracy.
The family one was clear: "The State recognises the Family, whether founded on marriage or on other durable relationships" instead of "The State pledges itself to guard with special care the institution of Marriage, on which the Family is founded."
That is some kick in the teeth to an unmarried mother who has worked hard all her life to raise her children. Even if wording was weak, it was still better than what we kept.
Define "durable relationships"

This is where you have it wrong - Brexit and Trump was a vote for change.
This was a vote for holding onto what we have.

2 of Derry, Dublin, Kerry to make the Final.
We seem to be a total mess in many ways this year and a totally abject 2nd half last Saturday doesn't inspire confidence.
Maybe we have a cunning plan.....
Roscommon reverting to the mean again.
Personally I'd prefer to have teams with realistic chance of winning an All Ireland in Division 1.
Donegal, Armagh and even Cork if they ever get their act together will be great additions to Division 1.

Would a squad of Polish builders do it for less?
That was 2011. GAA was not planning for a stadium that meets UEFA requirements. Even Croke Park or Páirc Uí Chaoimh or indeed any GAA stadium in Ireland would not meet UEFA requirements. Construction costs have also gone through the roof post Covid.
Yes it was 2011, but £77m was also the cost for a bigger stadium (38k if I recall). So that makes the current Price even madderer.
Why would Croke Park not meet UEFA requirements? Sure it hosted soccer qualifiers. As does Landsdowne Rosd currently
What exactly are these supposed UEFA requirements ? A heli-pad for the suits to fly in? A mono-rail for them to get to their seats?
