Islanders cast first votes on Lisbon Treaty

Islanders off the north west coast of Ireland became the first people to vote on the Lisbon Treaty today, with the most remote said to be on the verge of rejecting it.

Ballot boxes were shipped and flown off Donegal to Arranmore, Gola, Inishbofin, Inishfree and Tory Island to let around 800 early voters have their say on Lisbon II.
