Voter disruption fears amid polling station errors

Fears have been expressed that thousands of voters in Cork could be disenfranchised after they received incorrect polling station information.

As voters prepare to cast their votes in tomorrow’s referendums, it has emerged that voters in two vast suburban areas — one in the city and one in the county — were sent polling cards directing them to vote in two former gaelscoils which have both closed in recent months.

The Gaelscoil Therese building on Uam Var Ave, Curraheen, and the former Gaelscoil Uí Riordáin building in Coolroe, Ballincollig, served as polling stations for several years.
