Twenty thousand Poles cast votes in Ireland for Polish election

More than 20,000 Poles living in Ireland are voting in their country's parliamentary elections today.

This follows the calling of a snap election by Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski's conservative Law and Justice Party.

It followed the collapse of his coalition government because of a row over an investigation into corruption.

Poles in Ireland can cast their vote at the Polish Embassy in Dublin, Mary Street in Cork or at the Irish-Polish Cultural Association in Limerick.
