However only 33.5% of those eligible to vote yesterday did so, the lowest turnout since the referendum on bail in 1996.
With such a low turnout the count was finished relatively quickly, with the national result announced at 2pm.
Three constituencies voted No - Donegal North East by 60%, Donegal South West by 56%, and Dublin West by 50.4% - a margin of just 137 votes.
The margin in Cork North Central was even tighter - it voted Yes by just 47 votes.
The highest Yes vote was in Dublin South, with 73%, closely followed by Dublin South East and Dún Laoghaire.

Welcoming the result of the referendum, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said it was a "historic day for the children of Ireland".
He said passing the amendment would help "make childhood a good, secure and loving space for all our children".
Earlier, the editor of Alive magazine, Fr Brian McKevitt, who campaigned for a No vote, said he accepted the democratic decision of the people.
However, he questioned the role of the media, including RTÉ, and their coverage of the campaign.
