This was taken at the <a href="http://wexford-hub.blogspot.com/2016/02/wexford-general-election-count-centre.html">count centre</a> in the <a href="http://wexford-hub.blogspot.com/2015/11/st-josephs-club-community-centre-wexford.html">St. Joseph's Club Community Centre</a> in Wexford on Saturday, the 28th of February, 2016.

Funnily enough, one particular vote was spoiled because the voter decided to use fractions instead of numbers!<br />
