The polling stations at St Canice's Co-Ed primary school in Kilkenny city
The country is heading for a low turnout in the presidential election if Kilkenny city and county is anything to go by. In St Canice's Primary School in Kilkenny city at 8.53am only 7 out of 351 people in polling station No 3 had voted. That's a drop of 50 from the turn-out in the constitutional referendum on abortion.
In polling station No 2, just 12 of the 565 people had voted before 9am. At the same time in the abortion referendum that number was 50.
In Glenmore, the story is the same, a very low turnout and in Thomastown numbers so far are away down on previous elections and the recent referendum.
