The referendum to enshrine children’s rights in the constitution looks set to pass, early results have indicated.
The first wave of results from the 43 constituencies suggested the Yes camp would win through at around 55% – a narrower margin than had been expected by the Government.
Among the earliest confirmed results, protest votes were recorded in both Donegal constituencies, similar to the experience in last year’s European referendum.
Donegal South West recorded a 56% No vote with Donegal North East even more resounding with a 60% rejection.
Both constituencies saw low voter turnout of 24%, however.
