    Garda stopping people voting

    Reports are coming in that Garda have put up checkpoints around some polling stations where there is likely to be a predominance of No votes and using this to intimidate people from voting.

    Persons who are objecting to this have been seen to been led away by the National Guard.

    Libertas has condemned this as an outrage against democracy.

    You will really need some sources for such an accusation

    Is there a link for this? If true, this is very serious.

    This most likely belongs in the humour section.

    Yeah, shame it isn't the slightest bit funny.
    The Mahon Tribunal found Olivia Mitchell to have received an inappropriate payment from Frank Dunlop at the time of the 1992 Election. F.G. Gael has taken no action against her.
