by cianflah via twitter 10/3/2009 8:34:42 AM
Heading over to the RDS shortly. Going to call a 57% - 43% Yes vote but hope it will be more emphatic. Happy counting. #lisbon
by naoisen via twitter 10/3/2009 8:37:18 AM
#Lisbon An early tally received from Carlow-Kilkenny is indicating a strong Yes vote. 15% of boxes have been opened

That's that so - 9.45am and it's over.
by Suzy Byrne10/3/2009 8:47:00 AM
Dublin Central seems to be 66-34 at the moment. Don't have percentage of boxes that is based on though. Tis early days #lisbon
by aoifecarroll via twitter 10/3/2009 8:47:20 AM
I'm thinking taking a Notebook to a wedding today to keep a weather eye on the #lisbon count is outside the pale. N95 it is then
by dermotcasey via twitter 10/3/2009 8:47:38 AM
This is great fast info. Will be tunded all day. Thanks
by Irishhotelchat10/3/2009 8:47:58 AM
@Suzy Byrne So it is a yes?
by Irishhotelchat10/3/2009 8:49:46 AM
I'm saying it is based on what I'm reading @Irishhotel chat - Constituencies that went no the last time are coming out Yes.
by Suzy Byrne10/3/2009 8:50:43 AM
Correcting my last tweet. Actually 55-45 in Central. Its Inner City boxes that this is based on #lisbon
by aoifecarroll via twitter 10/3/2009 8:50:50 AM
RT @joej: First box 102 yes, 153 no, dublin north #Lisbon
by TomRaftery via twitter 10/3/2009 8:52:12 AM
Wondering if we have anyone reading us from counts who are not on twitter - you can leave comments on the live blog with tallies etc.
by Suzy Byrne10/3/2009 8:53:39 AM
#lisbon I'm abit disappointed I don't see any funny votes in Waterford yet..
by bernardtyers via twitter 10/3/2009 8:54:11 AM
RT @john_mcguirk: Hope? Some 60% NO boxes being reported in Dublin North. #Lisbon
by cianflah via twitter 10/3/2009 8:55:49 AM
102 yes, 153 no, dublin north. Anyone know how this is v last no vote?
by Irishhotelchat10/3/2009 8:56:10 AM
#Lisbon RTÉ's David McCullagh is reporting that early indications from count centres suggest that the treaty will be carried
by RTE_Lisbon via twitter 10/3/2009 8:58:38 AM
There will be Pockets of No votes in Dublin North - Clare Daly Socialist Party etc. Last Referendum results can be viewed here electionsireland.org

Dublin Central: 61-29 on 20% of boxes. Dublin South East is a strong Yes. South Central leaning No based on ballyfermot boxes #lisbon
by aoifecarroll via twitter 10/3/2009 8:59:07 AM
This is decisively Yes. Tallies in from 17 constituencies. Not a single one trending No. Not even ones that went solidly No last time.
by marklittlenews via twitter 10/3/2009 8:59:08 AM
