These Are The Early Turnout Percentages For Voting Throughout Ireland

With less than an hour to go until the voting on the Eighth Amendment referendum is wrapped up, RTÉ reporters throughout the country were hard at work gathering information on the voter turnout percentages throughout Ireland.

On the 9 O'Clock bulletin, four correspondents in each province revealed the approximate percentages which ranged from low 40% to high 70%.

Of course, it is impossible to know what the actual turnout will be until the voting is closed at 10pm but this is a good indication as to how many Irish people had their say today so far.

These were their findings:

Cork City - around 50%
Cork County – 52%
Limerick – 50% (However some places are recording high 60s to 70% in places)
Waterford 55-58%
Tipperary 50%
