Turnout across the country is running similar or behind 2018’s turnout.
That was the lowest turnout in history when 44 per cent of people voted.
In Dublin city this afternoon turnout is running a little over 10 per cent – with turnout higher in the Dublin County boxes at a little over 11 per cent.
Most boxes in Offaly are reporting in the high single digits or low double digits.
While in Mayo county wide turnout was averaging just under 9 per cent at midday
It’s a similar figure in Donegal and boxes in Wexford are reporting well down on the general election which seems to be a general trend across the country.
