The Yes campaign won an overwhelming majority to overturn the abortion ban by 66.4 per cent to 33.6 per cent.
Every constituency bar one voted in favour of the repeal, with only Donegal backing a No vote.
Ireland’s taoiseach (prime minister) Leo Varadkar, who campaigned in favour of reform, said that Irish voters had trusted women “to make the right choices and decisions about their own healthcare”.
UK Minister for Women and Equalities Penny Mordaunt said it was a “historic and great day for Ireland, and a hopeful one for Northern Ireland”.
She tweeted: “That hope must be met. #HomeToVote stories are a powerful and moving testimony as to why this had to happen and that understanding & empathy exists between generations. #trustwomen”

Ireland’s health minister will task his department with writing the new legislation on abortion on Tuesday morning.
From there, civil servants will work out the details of the new policy over summer, with a vote due in autumn.
The expected change in the law will allow women to have abortions up to 12 weeks in pregnancy out of their own choice.
Women would then be allowed a termination between 12 weeks and 24 weeks if there is substantial risk to the mother’s life or health, including mental health, according to the proposals supported by campaigners.
Both the Yes and No camps say the result of the referendum should be upheld, and prime minister Varadkar says he expects the new abortion rules to be in place before the end of 2018.
The result does not affect women in Northern Ireland, where strict rules remain in place, but many have used today’s emphatic result to call on Stormont to support a change.
