The polls are closed a while and barring some utter shock, the constitutional amendment has passed.
In the final few hours, the Yes side's infectious determination to hoover up every last vote was rather inspirational. None more so than Des Bishop who embraced his inner taxi driver and ferried people into polling stations, minus the charge.
A note of caution here. Is it possible he unwittingly helped some No voters get into vote?
Here's the story of his night in tweets.
If anyone is feeling lazy and hasn't voted in Dublin I will give you a lift to the polling station right now.

So next pick up at Heuston. Hard to organise lifts because the @ messages went a bit mental.
