Unlikely to happen. Ireland is a single entity nation, what the Dáil passes will be law across the land. And given the two to one result and the anti abortion campaign running against (a heavily distorted and often fictional) version of the peoposed 12 weeks without restriction anf afterwards only at risk of serious harm to the mother or nonviability of thefoetus, a lot of politicians will find that they wern't really against sbortion over the next few months (I'm guessing this is the referendum where the political class realises it's no longer 1982).

Part of county Donegal, actually. They hived off a well populated chunk of South East Donegal in the last electoral boundary revisions, which voted heavily Yes. While the constituency was 53% no the county was 53% yes.
