Around 70 dead people were on the voting register in one County Cork town for the recent elections, while a woman voting for 50 years turned up at a polling station to find out she had been removed from it.

Claims have also been made that some families had two votes each, being registered in different townlands, while other families who had left an area 15 years previously were still registered as living there.
