Some of these are brilliant!
The count may still be ongoing in the Marriage Referendum, but with indications showing a strong ‘Yes’ victory people have taken to Twitter to post their views on recent updates, and some of them are genius.
Take a look…
Ireland hasn’t just said “Yes”… Ireland has said: “FCK YEAAHHHH”
