Today marks the final full day of campaigning in the referendums on same-sex marriage and the age of presidential candidates, before a broadcast moratorium takes effect.
People on both sides of the arguments have until lunchtime tomorrow to try and persuade voters over the airwaves to take their side.
But the international edition of the New York Times has taken the opportunity to make the marriage referendum front-page news, featuring a mural by Irish artist Joe Caslin.
"The referendum's very consideration - and the relatively quiet way it is being met - is a measure of the waning power of the church, which has seen its pews empty in the aftermath of the clerical pedophile scandals and amid rising secularism", it says.
"Unlike the fierce and vitriolic fights here in the past over abortion and divorce, the referendum is being treated with little more hoopla than might occur during a local council election".
But it also cautions that the outcome is by no means certain.
"Though polls are showing greater support for a yes vote, there is widespread acknowledgment that this is the kind of issue that polls cannot always accurately gauge," it adds.
The piece also quotes former Justice Minister Alan Shatter, Bishop of Limerick Brendan Leahy and Ben Conroy of the Iona Institute.
It also quotes comments by former President Mary McAleese, made yesterday.
"Will a yes vote affect my heterosexual marriage or any heterosexual marriage?...Not in the least. But it will greatly affect my life and the lives of all parents of gay children", it quotes.
"It will give us peace of mind about our children's future and pride in our country’s commitment to true equality. It will right a glaring wrong."
While the mural has started to come down due to recent bad weather, the wider debate is on-going - until Saturday, at least.
Roscommon artist Joe Caslin created the mural, along with a similar one on a castle in the west.
He says the international response has been surprising for him.
