KILDARE POLLS: Two new voting stations will open

There will be two new polling stations in the Naas area for the forthcoming referendums (March 8) to alter the Constitution. They deal with the concept of family and recognising care provided by family members to each other.

Scoil an Linbh Íosa, also known as Holy Child National School Ballycane, in Naas will be a polling centre.
