Islands off Donegal coast go to polls today



The first votes in the general election will be cast today on islands off the west coast.

They include the likes of Inisfree off Donegal, where just 4 people are eligible to vote.

The constituencies of Donegal, Mayo and Galway West will see their first votes as around 2,000 islanders are eligible to cast a ballot today.

Early voting on islands had been proposed to be scrapped under a bill that didn’t get through the Oireachtas before the Dáil fell.

Campaign teams for all the political parties are making one final push for votes ahead of national polls opening tomorrow.
