A poll carried in today's edition of The Irish Timesindicates a clear majority will vote in favour of the Government's proposal to remove the automatic right of citizenship from Irish children of non-national parents.
However the poll also found that almost one in five voters had no opinion on the matter.
Some 54 per cent will vote on June 11th in favour of the constitutional amendment - 24 per cent will vote against and 22 per cent will have no opinion, the poll indicates.
The poll was conducted last Tuesday and Wednesday among a national quota sample of 2,000 voters throughout all constituencies in the State.
It shows the Government in a strong position to succeed in its aim of restricting the automatic citizenship rights of children born on the island of Ireland to those with at least one parent who has been lawfully resident in Ireland for three of the previous four years.
