Voters across Ireland go to the polls today to determine if the Government’s plans to enshrine children’s rights in the Constitution should be accepted.
Polls open on the back of a politically-damaging Supreme Court ruling over the misuse of public funds to inform the electorate about the campaign.
More than 3.1 million people are eligible to cast their ballot with polling stations open from 9am to 10pm.
Less than half the 2,000-plus islanders eligible to vote off Donegal, Mayo and Galway went to the polls early in the week as stations open to avoid bad weather hampering collection and counting of ballots.
Counting of votes from the 43 constituencies takes place on Sunday from 9am. Results will be fed through to the Referendum Returning Officer Riona Ni Fhlanghaile at Dublin Castle.
The first indications of the outcome should be known before lunchtime, unless the vote is split by a narrow margin.
