Early indications from the Mayo constituency indicate a vote against both amendments to the Constitution.
Sorting of votes is well underway at the count centre in Castlebar where only a partial tally is being conducted.
Neither of the main political parties, Fine Gael or Fianna Fáil, are represented in the tally process.
Aontú is the only political party conducting a tally.
Tommy Horan, the Aontú candidate in East Mayo in the local elections, says the early tally indications reflect what he has been hearing on doorsteps while canvassing for a ‘No’ vote in recent weeks.
Counting on the 39th amendment (Family) will commence shortly with a result expected by lunchtime.
Counting on the 40th Amendment (Care) will then commence.
