Two voters make up 50% turnout as remote island of Inishfree goes to the polls

The smallest voting box in Ireland yesterday had a 50% turnout — of two.

One of those voting on Inishfree, an island off Donegal, was born in Long Island, New York, and the other was a Welshwoman.

Maureen O’Sullivan, from south Wales, came to Inishfree in 1963 to live with her late husband.
