I voted on Tuesday.

I'm still registered somewhere far away from where I am or where I live so frankly in my current sick state and having to do an airport run later, I don't think it's going to happen

Kimono-Girl

my partner voted before work i'll head up in an hour or two....im too lazy to get dressed now!

JOSman

Done and dusted.

phasers

I'm ferrying the family down later bar one loser brother who refuses to vote. Just gotta try and get them all together

Garseys

Voted and now heading into College for Regulation and Quantum Mechanics Lectures.

bobbysands81

Voted.

Time for change.

steddyeddy

voting for anyone but fianna fail nua, luckily my area has a ton of worthy independents

theteal

I didn't know which table to go to (again). The kind girl from the first table was only short of taking me by the hand to the requisite table. Job done!

The station(drimnagh castle) was surprisingly busy compared to what I'm used to seeing. Hopefully that equates to a significantly improved turn out compared to previous elections.

An seo. (hand raised).

I wish I was oversea's, but I'm stuck here for another while. Hopefully Lebanon later in the year.

We have a postal vote regardless where we're serving.

Everyone that has a vote today, please go out and exercise that right.

The right to vote in a democratic country is one of the great freedoms of life

As Plato once said.

"One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors."

"The direction in which education starts a man will determine his future in life."

"Democracy... is a charming form of government, full of variety and disorder; and dispensing a sort of equality to equals and unequals alike."

Remember people, Vote early and vote often...

SeaFields

I believe under a very old law that it is perfectly legal to punch a Fianna Fail candidate in the head on polling day.*






*may not be accurate

Crunchy Friends

Will be voting this afternoon after college and before work! First time voter!

Badgermonkey

8am Voted for Shane Ross, hoping for genuine change.

8:45am emailed Shane to complain about a planning issue, request a medical card for a relative, demand a passport at very short notice and seek to have a drunk driving conviction quashed, as it was only 3km from the golf club to home - sure what harm?

Voters sure derive a lot of self esteem from the act.
I'm with your brother on this one.

FF saying their prayers ?

Ickle Magoo

Voted at 7:10...all quiet at the polling station. Handy that despite checking in advance we were definitely on the register and them having the correct address that no polling cards arrived....which meant going around six rooms and checking all sections of register to see which one we were on...they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

Though I am rather excited to find out if the irish people will eventually vote with their heads and not because shure tis the same guy I always vote for and me daddy voted for dem too.

My mam works in a polling station and I read some of the regulation book she has to see what it's for cos I saw it before too. Apparently, if you show up to vote with no ID, and no one there knows you personally, you can swear on the Bible that you are who you say you are!!! :pac::pac::pac::pac: There's even an oath outlined in the book that people can say, one for theists, one for atheists. Great country :mad:

Vote LAbour, Jack O'Connor wants you to.

If you see a Fianna FAILer on your way to vote, tut at them and shake your head in disgust. Alternatively lash rotten eggs at them.

Neither, a belief that it's futile.

ilovesleep

I will be voting later this evening. Have so much to do today and need to look for an ID so it will be before closing time at 10.

FCUK OFF FIANNA FAIL

TheMilkyPirate

First time voter at the ripe old age of 21 today, Still not sure what i'm going to do. Will decide on the walk up*, heading up now.


*(It's a long walk)

wolfpawnat

Done and dusted. Hoping my vote comes through!

And baraca, I just walked 2 miles each way to vote, so stop being lazy

Spunge

Fianna Fail #1 **** yeah

Brussels Sprout

Just voted. The polling station is my old primary school so I hung around for ten minutes afterwards looking at old photographs. I was struck by the huge amounts of people who were constantly coming into the school during that period especially given the time of day.

Kimono-Girl

just back from voting!!!!


ours was quite busy too there were a good few people there!

gandalf

Performed my electoral cleansing duties first thing this morning. Good steady stream heading into the polling centre when I was there and when I went by it an hour later. Hoping this equates to a severe spanking for the Developers Party.

Clover

Voted at around 11:00am , it was quite enough and went well apart from putting my back out getting out of the car .

Fine Gael is going to be elected though, so it's out with the old and in with the same.

Phill Ewinn

Voted. Really appalling list of candidates to choose from. No sign outside the building indicating 'poling centre', reported the issue and was given a shoulder shrug. Democracy here we come, not.

Yes, but if they are in coalition with Labour they may be a small bit fairer than the last lot in the last 2 years!

My polling station was quiet busy, and apparently has been none stop since about 7.15 this morning. Good to see people voting, even if they don't share my politics!

Mister men

Voted in Clonskeagh here. Looked like a very low turnout to me. Myself and two other voters is all i noticed

I emailed Shane Ross a few weeks ago about an issue. Took a while, but he did email me back. Not a form email, but one specifically about what I emailed him about. I was very impressed by this and he won himself my first preference.

BTW, voted this morning.
