Voting is continuing in the referendums to abolish the Seanad and to set up a new Court of Appeal. More than 6,000 polling stations around the country opened at 7am this morning.

They will remain open until 10pm tonight.

A white ballot paper will be given asking voters to say Yes or No to the abolition of the Seanad - while a Green paper will ask if voters want to set up a new Court of Appeal.

Over 3.5 million people are eligible to cast a vote but turnout is quite low so far in most areas.

The Referendum Commission is still running its helpline to answer questions voters may have on 1890-270-970.

Once the ballot boxes are closed they will be secured overnight ahead of counting set to begin at 9am tomorrow morning.
