Early results show Ireland on course for resounding yes vote

SATURDAY 23 MAY 2015
The first results from Ireland's historic gay marriage referendum show the yes campaign is heading for an emphatic victory.

An official overall result is expected early this evening but campaigners are already claiming victory.

The first handful of results from the 43 constituencies were all in favour of introducing gay marriage. In Waterford 60 per cent of people voted yes, in Sligo North Leitrim it was 53.6 per cent, in Wicklow 68.4 per cent and in Meath West 60.1 per cent.
