Byelections 2019: Low turnout down to voter apathy - Coveney

"The story of Cork North-Central is the collapse of the hard left," said Tánaiste Simon Coveney.

A turnout of just 30% in Cork North-Central has been put down to a lack of excitement among voters who know they will be returning to the polls in the coming months.

Tánaiste Simon Coveney made the comment at Nemo Rangers, where counting for the Cork North-Central byelection continues.
