Turns out he was registered in two constituencies. Lack of cross checking of the sensus results was probably to blame for that. The scary thing is that although my friend didn't even try to commit election fraud, this just shows how easy it is in Ireland to manipulate the vote... A friend of mine got two voting cards!

If you have query over voting card etc, chase any govt body you can for info. When people give these excuses I find it very lazy.

I did have to ask directions to my Polling Station alright but there was several big "Polling Station" signs outside as I approached. Canvessers aren't allowed within 50 metres of the Polling Station entrance. Interesting information on voting regulations <a href="http://www.environ.ie/en/LocalGovernment/Voting/" rel="nofollow">here</a>.
