Voter turnout high across the country
Turnout is estimated at around 30 per cent nationwide.
Voting's continuing this evening in the two referendums and the Dáil by-election.
Turnout is estimated at around 30 per cent across the country - higher than expected for this time of the day - and could be the highest for any Irish referendum ever.
But some polling stations nationwide reported queues outside their doors at 7 o'clock this morning when the polls opened.
In Cork, turnout in the city shows an average of 38% with one booth in Bishopstown having a voter turnout of 50% and another in Douglas recorded a 37% turnout this afternoon.
The traditional teatime rush, with people voting after work, should see the turnout at over 60 per cent by the time polls close at 10 o'clock.
If that's the case, close to two million people will have cast their votes - the highest turnout for any referendum in Irish history.
