Munster votes yes as the rest of the country says no

The country said no — but Munster said yes, with the province narrowly voting in favour of scrapping the Seanad.

Such were the narrow margins in play that combining Cork South and North Central votes shows a majority of just 88 for the yes side (33,313 votes) over no (33,225 votes).

It also raised concerns about confusion over the location and late switching of polling station sites.
