Islands continue to vote as parties finish canvassing

Parties will be making one final push today to woo voters ahead of polling day.

All of the parties will be out in force before the broadcast moratorium kicks in at 2pm this afternoon.

Voting on Donegal's four smallest Islands finished yesterday, with a turn-out of about 50% on Tory Island.

Only 15 people out of 67 registered on Innishboffin cast a vote.

Up to 200 residents on three Islands off the coast of Mayo also voted in the General Election yesterday.

Islanders off the coast of Co Galway will vote today.

Micheál Martin received a rapturous reception at one of the final rallies of this election campaign last night.

It has been a challenging campaign for the new Fianna Fáil leader who is facing into the most difficult election in his party's history.

He and all the other party leaders have now just one day to make a final push for support.

Fine Gael Leader Enda Kenny will visit Donegal, Sligo and then return home to Castlebar in the afternoon.

Labour's Eamon Gilmore will do a series of radio interviews before canvassing on his home turf in Dun Laoghaire.

While Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin is on the canvass in his native Cork.

Green Leader John Gormley along with Eamon Ryan will be at the St. Stephen's Green Luas stop in Dublin, while Sinn Fein's Mary Lou McDonald will also be in the city centre canvassing support.
