YES: 49.7%
NO: 50.3%

A very quiet count centre in the RDS. Count staff for Dublin Bay South have completed their work in the 39th ‘Family’ and 40th ‘Care’ amendments. An official result has not yet been declared. Count staff for Dublin Bay North have completed ‘Family’ count and are working on ‘Care’

Labour leader Ivana Bacik and Labour Senator Marie Sherlock in RDS say a No-No result would be due to a “lacklustre government campaign”.

Marie Sherlock: “This government went out and completely failed to sell their referendum”. She said ministers were missing in action
