Please get back to the subject of the diaspora.

Just to clarify, I think all citizens including in the disapora should have a vote for the Seanad and President. Wouldn't include me personally as I have not registered as a citizen of the Republic.

Lads, ye've gone on to nitpicking about who in Ireland can vote now, despite the fact that ye know damn well who is and isn't entitled anyway.

Please get back to the subject of the diaspora.
You're the one who made this about paying tax. We're just exploring the logical consequences of that. Every post but one after yours mentions the diaspora, and that one is about the related question of Northern Irish citizens.

Every post after mine mentions the diaspora, but many of them are focussing on the domestic vote. The topic is the diaspora. Again, back on topic please.

just to clarify, what is your definition of diaspora? i know its often used to comment on/discuss the numerous people of Irish descent around the world, but to be clear, I only refer to those born here in Ireland and currently work/live abroad.

Look lads, the country's broke.

€500 and you get to vote in a constituency of your own choice, no questions asked.

If I buy a vote for €500, would FF be willing to pay €600 for it yet?

BallotBox.ie (http://ballotbox.ie/), which has been getting lots of media coverage, goes live today, so any family or friends abroad can cast a symbolic vote.
