Is this the beginning of the end of the Catholic hold on the Irish...?
It's good news if it is...no country should be dominated and controlled by religion...

No. Truly I think this is really the end. The sex abuse scandals were the beginning of the end.

Soon Ireland will have more liberal abortion laws than NI, will women start travelling into Ireland for an abortion instead of out of it?

And I imagine the loss of power of the Catholic church makes a united Ireland much more likely. Not sure how I feel about that.
