We had voter impersonation at Kenmare polling station at the local and European elections in June 2024, caught on CCTV... I called for a thorough investigation into the facts of the incident last week, and we still need clarity about how this was quietly hushed up. It has made a mockery of our democracy.

The Electoral Commission highlights that none of the local authorities have an accurate electoral register, rendering election turnout figures meaningless. This situation calls for urgent corrective measures.

So we've got the exit poll, which came out last night just as the polls closed. And that's given us an indication of the vote share. And then vote counting began this morning. The initial suggestion from the exit poll is that Sinn Fein has a narrow lead over the two big center parties. But it is pretty tight between all three.

The social media video for Independent Ireland says it was "Paid for by PDE-EDP Patri Démocratic européan" - a European political party in receipt of EU funds.
