Elderly voter returns to Inishbiggle as islanders cast first votes

An elderly woman despondent about the state of the country has returned to the island she lived on for 56 years to cast her vote.

Bridgie O’Malley, 82, travelled on a small motor boat with her son Joe to tiny Inishbiggle as islanders off counties Mayo and Donegal went to the polls two days ahead of the rest of the country.
