The omens certainly aren’t good for those hoping for a large turn-out for the Children’s Referendum across Donegal.
Donegal’s islanders went to the polls first as usual.
And on Inishboffin just 3 out of a total of 64 people entitled to vote had cast their ballot.
Ballot boxes on islands off Donegal were due to return to the mainland last night after polls closed at 7.30pm on Arranmore.
Almost 800 people were eligible to vote, including on the smaller islands of Gola, Inishbofin, Inishfree and Tory where polling stations were open for four hours.
Only a third of those eligible to cast their vote on Tory had done so by closing time.
