The country becomes the first in the world to introduce same-sex marriage after a national referendum, with 62 per cent voting yes.

Ireland has voted to recognise same sex marriag, with a turnout of 60%, of whom 62% voted yes to rewording their constitution on the subject of marriage.

Marriage may be contracted in accordance with law by two persons without distinction as to their sex.

Do safety concerns around powdered alcohol have any base in reality?

Powdered alcohol is a thing. Don’t know if it will ever be available in the UK. In the US, where it’s not on sale yet, there’s already a huge moral panic over it. Wired had one mad person mix up a home made version to see if there was any basis to the fears.

Result? Of course there wasn’t.
