Ireland is on course to become the first country in the world to vote for same-sex marriage.
Tallies show Dublin overwhelmingly supports marriage equality, while there's also very strong support across the country.
It doesn't look like a single constituency has voted against it.
A landlside yes is expected to be formally announced at around 6PM. It's taking longer than expected, due to the sheer volume of voting slips to be counted.

Across Dublin box after box is showing the YES votes at 2-1, in some cases 3-1 and more. In Cherry Orchard one box had a 90% yes vote, another in Ballyfermot had an 85% yes vote, Sallynoggin boxes had an 80% yes.
Around the country large yes votes are also emerging, though not as much as in Dublin. But Donegal which traditionally votes no may in fact pass the marriage referendum with a 55% to 60% yes vote though that's based on early trends.
David Quinn of the Iona Institute has conceded already.
Congratulations to the Yes side. Well done. #MarRef
