I am one of the people affected by the “due to technical errors, your Polling Information Card for the Referendums was not printed”.

I received a letter yesterday telling me that this does not affect my right to vote and my Polling Place and Details are set out below: Polling Station: ST. JAMES PRIMARY SCHOOL

There is no address mentioned whatsoever. I had to google this school and the only address I could find was for Basin Lane. Basin Lane doesn’t exist on Google Maps. It also doesn’t exist on an A-Z map of Dublin that I have.

Anyway, I decided to go along to my usual voting place which is the Mater Dei primary school at Basin View to ask them where St. James Primary School is. It turns out that it is on the same street – Basin View. I suspect that a lot of people might have difficulty finding the location. Do you think the government have done this on purpose to get a lower voting turnout?

Young Miley’s been getting some letters,
From Sinéad, who is one of her betters,
O’Connor asserts,
That instead of short skirts,
She should put on some trousers and sweaters.

My father is currently on medication [prescription medication for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and acid reflux] that in an Irish pharmacy cost him €72.10 for 1 month supply.
He recently went to Newry and bought said medication (same brands) for €52.20 for 6 MONTHS SUPPLY………That’s a saving of €760.80 a year.

 

€760.80.
