The result in Ireland's historic referendum on relaxing abortion
laws has been a "resounding" yes.
Speaking shortly after the result was confirmed, the country's
prime minister Leo Varadkar said it marked "the day Ireland stepped out
from under the last of our shadows and into the light".
The country has voted in favour of ending the abortion ban with
66.4% in favour with 33.6% against.
The only area to have voted to keep the ban was the county of
Donegal.
Exit polls released after Friday's vote
had suggested more than two thirds of voters wanted to change the country's
strict law.
