Thursday

5pm:?Slow, low and all well below 50%. That is how RTÉ's correspondents across the country report the turnout on Radio 1's Drivetime radio programme.
6pm: Charlie Bird, speaking dramatically on Six-One News from the RDS, a full 16 hours before the count, claims average turnout is well above 20% in Dublin with an after-work surge expected to boost it. Turnout has been much higher in urban than in rural areas.
9pm: David Davin-Power reports on RTÉ's 9pm news that polling has been steady all evening as the weather has been good. He adds: "Broadly speaking, the more that vote, the more it helps Yes. At this stage neither campaign is interpreting these figures as favouring either camp."
11pm:?On TV3's Nightly News with Vincent Browne, Labour's Alex White says the result is hard to call and "I would not exclude either eventuality". Historian Diarmaid Ferriter claims "the Yes side were far too complacent", while Anne-Marie Hourihane claims "the main parties approached it with revolting cynicism". Browne accuses White of not reading the treaty. He says: "I don't believe anybody in the country, bar somebody in the attorney general's office, read it."
11.20pm: On The Late Debate on RTÉ with Dave O'Connell, political commentator Noel Whelan says: "The most significant outcome of the referendum will be the emergence of a political party around Libertas." Brian Dowling agrees and says: "They have the basis for an embryonic organisation."

Friday

1.35pm: Eamon Keane's lunchtime show on Newstalk reports that Enda Kenny has failed to deliver in his Mayo constituency with 67% voting no. Panellist Nell McCafferty exclaims: "Now we will find out if Cowen was lying to me and the electorate by saying there is no plan B." When there is no answer at the end of the line after Keane introduces Pat Cox, McCafferty suggests perhaps he is "sitting in a corner with a bottle of whiskey and a revolver".
2pm:Speaking to RTÉ, a spokesman for Cóir refuses to apologise for jostling Brian Lenihan.
