The Clare Champion Clare news, sport, entertainment and local notes
Early indications suggest Clare voters have voted No in the two Referendums on Friday.
In total, 98 out of the 177 boxes have been opened in the count centre at Woodstock Hotel, Ennis.
The preliminary turnout is expected 45%, which is subject to change once all the votes are counted.
Counting staff are currently reconciling the number of votes in every box with the number recorded by the presiding officer to make sure they tally. Staff will start counting all the votes when the reconciling process is completed.
It is expected that a final result will be announced after 3pm this afternoon.
