While Ireland passed the referendum allowing gay marriage with a significant majority of 62%, there was one single county in Ireland that voted (if narrowly) against it: Roscommon.

Which also happens to be the country from which my forebears came, and where the majority of my Irish relatives still live. The Irish Times had a interesting article about Roscommon County and why it alone of the Irish counties voted down the referendum.
