A voter has dropped his wedding ring into a ballot box in Dublin.
Labour Senator Kevin Humphreys said the ring slipped off the man’s finger as he was casting his vote on Zion Road in Rathgar.
He said there was “rapturous applause” after a surgeon was able to fish it out using the aeriel off the returning officer’s car.
