Did UK political interference help swing a YES vote in Ireland?

Prior to the referendum on Oct 2nd, polls were putting the YES camp at about 50% of the vote, with about 25% on NO and the remainder undecided.

However, I was just wondering if the decision by the UKIP, amongst others (There were stacks of YA people telling the Irish what they should be doing) to interfere in another countries business actually pushed more people towards a YES vote? I mean, how would people in Britain react, if Angela Merkel came over and started telling people how to vote in the UK?

Where did I was it was all the UK's fault Sheepy? I openly said the polls were leaning towards YES anyway. I was just wondering if the 'push' from UKIP et al, helped? Try answering the question.

So your answer is "I don't know" then.
 
Sarkozy came to Ireland urging us to vote yes , Barroso came here the other week telling unemployed people in Limerick their might be 16 million euro funding for job training for them if they played their cards right , but the yes campaign wouldn't bring that up would they? Also their was massive funding from Continental Europe pushing the yes campaign
