Homenews

We can't believe what we just saw.

Technology has come so far in the last few decades, but there's simply nothing else you can do once you lose the key for a big, steel ballot box. That's exactly what happened in a Sligo-Leitrim counting centre today, but luckily there was some resourceful fellows on hand with their trusty saw. The amusing scene was captured on video and posted to Twitter. Be free, ballot papers! Go free and be counted! Let's none of us tell health and safety though. https://twitter.com/CWhyte___/status/703536398889066496
