Along with Friday's European Parliament election in Ireland, there were three other elections going on simultaneously in the country. One is the local council election during which candidates would compete for 949 seats in some-30-strong local councils across the country. The other is a referendum on whether the current Constitution in relation to divorce should be changed or not so that the minimum five-year waiting period for a divorce could be shortened. The last one is a plebiscite on directly elected mayors in three Irish cities, namely Limerick, Waterford and Cork.
The counting of the afore-said three elections won't kick off until tomorrow morning, said local media.
Latest news coming in said that a wave of support for Green Party has set the party on course to top the poll in the European Parliament election in Dublin, according to a local exit poll.
Founded in 1981, Green Party has only two seats in the lower house of the Irish parliament, one seat in the senate and no seats in the current European Parliament.
