Three of Ireland’s 43 constituencies voted against Government plans to enshrine children’s rights in the constitution.
Donegal South West, Donegal North East and Dublin North West were the only areas to reject the referendum.
While the No vote in the Dublin constituency was marginal – with only 137 votes of a difference – the northern county was more resolute in its rejection of the reforms.
Donegal South West recorded a 56% No vote, with Donegal North East even more resounding with a 60% rejection.
Voter turnout in the county was relatively low, at 24%.
