Poll: Will you be marking Mother's Day?

It’s Mother’s Day today.

IT’S MOTHER’S DAY today.

It’s a day designed to celebrate the mother figures in our lives, whether that’s your mother, grandmother, the mother of your children, or someone who best matches the description for you.

Many will spend some quality time with the people that mean a lot to them, while for those who have lost their mothers, it is often a day of remembrance.

Of course, individual families are often complicated, and some people may not have had a mother in their lives or had a relationship with their mother that is not one to celebrate.

So today, we’re asking you: Will you be marking Mother’s Day?


Poll Results:

Yes (6199)
No (2973)
I'm not sure (312)

    29 deaths so far this year on the roads . It shows why the guards are stepping up there checks. Please everyone check your tyres brakes , don’t speed and never drive under the influence. This accident may have nothing to do with any of them things but some deaths this year have . Let’s try and stop the toll over reaching last years figure

    @Margaret Deacon: Actually Margaret you’re lucky. You and your family are safer if people drive responsibly, and a garda presence helps to enforce that.

    If people obeyed the rules of the road and were responsible road deaths would be reduced, speed checks and garda check points should not be the reason you slow down, its the law just my point of view
