Not quite yet, however RTE have reported that initial estimates are 60% 40% in favour of 'Yes'. We'll hear the final results tomorrow of course so no real point speculating at this stage. The bookies today had the 'Yes' vote at very short odds...and the bookie is rarely wrong.

mental stimulation, ...or just somewhere to pass 5 minutes! This spot is an informal look at the world of money, finance,
investing, busines, politics, etc. etc.
