🏮Once more for evening voters in Cork North Central who normally vote in Trinity Presbyterian Church polling station 🏮
🔺️ ⚠️ Heads up for Cork Nth Central voters who normally vote at the Hall at Trinity Church, end of Summerhill: works there mean your polling station has moved to City Hall.
That is stated on your polling card, but the change is not well flagged.
Reposts appreciated. People may miss out. #aras25

Did you know that skin cancer is the most common cancer in Ireland? We don't mind ourselves in the sun, but also far too many of us use sunbeds.
The govt. has opened a consultation on banning sunbeds. Imo, we should ban commercial sunbed use.
