Keogh welcomes Dun Laoghaire 'No' vote as highest in the country

Dun Laoghaire Senator, Helen Keogh (Fine Gael) has welcomed the fact that the constituency of Dun Laoghaire has returned the highest 'No' vote in the country with a massive 31,476 (68.23%) votes against the government's referendum.

14,653 people voted in favour.

"Yet again, Dun Laoghaire has shown itself to be a decisive constituency in national referendums and has substantially rejected the government's proposal," said Senator Keogh.

"Dun Laoghaire is the constituency that has witnessed the trail of thousands of women every year leaving the country from this port to travel to the UK for abortions. We must remember that reducing the number of women who take this tragic route annually is an absolute priority."
