A ballot paper is seen inside the polling station, set up inside the bungalow of an islander, one of the 31 registered to vote, on Gola Island, off the Donegal coast of western Ireland, as voting in the Irish general election takes place on November 29, 2024. Ireland began voting Friday in a closely-fought general election with the incumbent coalition neck-and-neck with opposition party Sinn Fein after a campaign marked by rancour over housing and cost-of-living crises.
