The same-sex marriage referendum looks set to be passed by a margin of possibly two to one, according to tallies.
A number of campaigners against the marriage referendum have congratulated the Yes side on its campaign.
The first official constituency result was declared in Sligo-North Leitrim with Yes on 53.57% and No on 46.43%.
In Waterford the result was: Yes with 60.33% and No on 39.67%.
In Wicklow, the result was Yes on 68.37% and No on 31.63%.
The official national result is expected to be announced before 6pm.
Large crowds have been gathering in Dublin Castle to hear the final result, which will be a resounding Yes vote.
Two to one!! That’s amazing!!!
The count in Dublin, RTÉ just said, is 71% yes.
