The real story of this Presidential election is just how many people decided to spoil their vote in protest against the government.
Tens of thousands of people spoiled their vote yesterday, telling the government that enough is enough.
They wrote about Citywest, immigration, President Donald Trump, everything and anything but not voting for Catherine Connolly or Heather Humphreys.
Galway Independent TD Catherine Connolly will become President of Ireland later today, but that’s already becoming irrelevant.
The real story of the day is that thousands of people spoiled their vote.
Some polling stations are seeing up to 18% spoiled votes, with people writing about Citywest on their ballot sheets.
As the day unfolds, the big story is the spoiled votes campaign.
