Ireland election: Waiting to see doctor tops voter concerns
As Ireland gears up for a snap general election this weekend, addressing inequality and complexity of the country’s healthcare system has emerged as the number one priority for voters.
Ireland‘s general election is less than 24 hours away.
Prime Minister Leo Varadkar’s governing Fina Gael party is hoping to defy the opinion polls and retain power.
But the opposition Sinn Fein party is enjoying a surge in support.
The government called the snap election because of the crisis in the public healthcare system and the long wait to see a doctor.
