Thousands of Irish Across the World are Returning #HomeToVote
Today is the day of days.
All the campaigning, all the debates, all the posters, all the social media banners - it all ends today when we cast our vote and decide the future of generations to come.
It's a pretty huge day, in fairness. Ireland will become the first country in the world to vote for Marriage Equality by popular vote.
For some, it's a case of hopping out for ten minutes during lunch to cast a vote in their local polling station.
Others have to head back to their hometown and make the vote.
For others, their hometown's a little far from where they are.
Flew back yesterday from Nairobi to Cork #hometovote - that's a big YES! to equality in Ireland!

That's right, people have been jetting in from the four corners of the earth to vote for Marriage Equality.
If they're able to get a flight from NAIROBI, the least we can do is to head out and do our civic duty.
Have you been to the polling station yet?
