DUBLIN, Oct 3 (Reuters) - Irish voters have approved the European Union's Lisbon reform treaty and victory for its opponents is now a statistical impossibility, Reuters calculations showed on Saturday.
Results show the 'Yes' camp with a lead of 519,089 votes, which is greater than the total number of voters in those constituencies that have yet to declare results.
Six constituencies, with a total of 495,702 registered voters, have yet to announce results, according to the Web site of the referendum's returning officer.
