I really don't want to hear that this is because of some horrible budget cut or electoral malfeasance somewhere, because the idea that we just do this because it's bery obviously the best possible voting experience that has ever been devised, is too sublime to deny.
The home of the O'Donovan family is being used as a polling station in Coolmoyne, Co Tipperary. Around 250 people are eligible to vote at the house and after they cast their ballot, they will be treated to a cup of tea, a slice of apple or rhubarb tart, or a scone | More: rte.ie/b/1540324

Aoife Moore: Fine Gael texts out attack lines to journalists. They’re often forwarded on to me by colleagues in journalism and minutes later the very queries Fine Gael direct them to ask appear in the Connolly press inbox. If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry.

The ballot paper for Ireland’s presidential election is unlawful – and gives an unfair advantage to Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil’s candidates.
The legislation is clear.
