Ireland heads to the polls and achieves a relatively high turnout

On the second day of the European elections, the Irish and the Czech went to the polls to decide who they want to represent them in the upcoming European Parliament. Although the turnout in Ireland was relatively high, the exit polls weren’t published, while the Czechs will be voting today as well.

To better understand how the Irish voted, what the key issues are, and which MEPs may be staying in Brussels, we spoke with Euractiv’s editor, Donagh Cagney.
