The fallout continues over the Government's failure to change the constitution on family and care.

An 'Ireland Thinks' exit poll - published today in the Sunday Independent - reveals high levels of anger behind the 'No' vote - with voters citing a 'lack of clarity' and 'mistrust in Government' for the rejection.

Yesterday's double count returned the highest ever 'No' vote in an Irish referendum - with 74 percent 'No' on Care... and 68 percent 'No' on Family.

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar admits he got it wrong. "As head of government and on behalf of the government, we accept responsibility for the result. It was our responsibility to convince the majority of people to vote yes, and we clearly failed to do so."
