PIC: Dublin woman in wheelchair refused voting permission after not ringing ahead

Outrageous.

A woman in Dublin has taken to Twitter to complain after her constituency refused her permission to vote, as she did not ring ahead to organise wheelchair access. Eimear Breathnach, a retired paralympic athlete, posted this outraged message on her Twitter account earlier. https://twitter.com/mrseimearb/status/703296241229287424 Her plight was met with a lot of sympathy... https://twitter.com/b2dac/status/703321812965462016

@mrseimearb My work is a polling station and they're required to have one to remain as a polling station. That's terrible form. — Dave Tobin (@davidtobin100) February 26, 2016

Eimear then had to get assistance from her brother in an increasingly disgraceful and humiliating situation. https://twitter.com/mrseimearb/status/703324375479668737 Eimear has since thanked all the well wishers for their support... https://twitter.com/mrseimearb/status/703355754850459648
