The counting of ballots in the presidential election has revealed a significant number of spoiled votes.

While Catherine Connolly looks set to win the election, many of the ballots were spoiled, with some containing anti-government messages.

Aontú leader Peadar Tóibín has revealed he spoiled his vote, saying: “I had no way to exercise a political choice and I wanted to protest that.”
