Mystery of disappearing polling stations

A number of polling stations traditionally used for voting in Limerick have disappeared from the list of places for The Lisbon Treaty poll, a spokesman for Republican Sinn Féin said today.

Joe Lynch from Beechgrove Avenue in Ballinacurra Weston, the vice-chairman of the Munster RSF Executive said that elderly people will have to walk a considerable distance to vote because some polling stations are not being used.
