Marriage equality set to pass as Iona Institute concedes defeat
Had trouble sleeping? You're probably not alone.
If you thought yesterday was big, today is going to be something else entirely as Ireland decides whether to implement same-sex marriage.
Social media has been awash with predictions, stories and all sorts of commentary as we await the result some time later today.
As for that other slip of paper you marked with an 'X' at the polling station yesterday...
Is nobody thinking about the baby presidents?

The word 'count' will be tweeted a lot today. Please exercise caution if your autocorrect normally expects you to be more sweary.#MarRef
