More constituencies report No majorities

More constituencies have reported No majorities as counting continues following yesterday's Lisbon Treaty referendum.

Some 57% of voters in Sligo-North Leitrim have rejected the treaty, while 50.2% in Tipperary North and 53.2% in Tipperary South have voted No.

Earlier today, Waterford reported a 54% vote for the No camp and 46% for the Yes side.

Tallies from elsewhere in the country suggest that the result will be replicated nationwide.

Some elements of the No campaign are already claiming victory, while a number of politicians on the Yes side have been extremely pessimistic about the outcome.
