Guarantee they will and it's too bad we can't have a referendum vote like Ireland instead of involving the lawyers and all that comes with them.

Yeah, the referendum vote worked out really well for LGTB men and women in California.... Prop 8, anyone?

That said, props to Ireland's people (and to the decline of the Catholic Church's influence on the nation). Hope they can get on the women's right to bodily autonomy thing next, so no more women die due to doctors refusing to treat a miscarriage properly.
