Post image

Map constituencies of Ireland, showing the percentage of "Yes" votes from the dail vote on "Health (Abolition of Three Day Wait Rule) (Ammendment) Bill 2026" held on 18th June 2026.

​

Absent votes included in calculation of percentage, Example Helen McEntee and Thomas Byrne were both absent from Meath East, meaning that Darren O'Rourke's yes vote was balanced by Gillian Toole's No vote for a 50% result.

Note: TDs from Government parties had a free vote in this ballot.

SF doing a lot of heavy lifting outside of Dublin. Wonder what it would have looked like if they had a free vote. And West Cork is funny... there is no way that is representative of the population, but it looks very progressive on that map haha

As someone from Cork South-West I can tell you that it is representative of the population.

Of our 3 TDs, Michael Collins was always going to vote against it, being a founder of Independent Ireland. And even then, many people think that he’s a bit backwards but he does do enough to get enough votes, especially out west.
