The citizenship referendum has been passed with a resounding four to one majority.
This is clear despite the count not being complete in two areas.
The Immigrant Council has called for a forum on immigration to be set up immediately to examine all issues arising from the citizenship referendum.
The Alliance for Children’s Rights has said the Government must now honour commitments made during the referendum campaign to provide effective legislation, which will safeguard the rights of children.
The Campaign Against the Racist Referendum has conceded defeat in the poll on citizenship.
While accepting the result, the Campaign pointed to what it said were the huge discrepancies in the money spent by the Yes and the No camps.
It also voiced concern at what they says will be the increase in racism brought about by this referendum.
Results are available on www.rte.ie/news/elections2004 and on Aertel p.750.
