Only 5 of 43 constituencies reject EU agreement

Voters in just five of the country’s 43 constituencies rejected the referendum, with strong divisions between urban and rural areas.

The 56% and 55% results for the no campaign in Donegal North East and Donegal South West were as noteworthy for the fact that less than 43% of voters turned up in each constituency.

However, while there was a strong rural-urban divide in the level of support or opposition to the treaty, with major urban constituencies hugely bolstering the yes vote, three of those to vote against were in the capital: Dublin North West at 53%, and Dublin South Central and Dublin South West, both at just under 51%.
