With about a third of ballots counted, roughly 80 percent backed the change to require Irish or three years of residence for citizenship, aligning Ireland with other EU nations and limiting automatic birthright citizenship. Justice Minister Michael McDowell led the campaign for a yes, arguing the rule would curb exploitation by pregnant foreigners, while opponents warned of hypocrisy and rising immigrant flow in Ireland’s booming economy.
