Left-wing independent and frontrunner Catherine Connolly votes in the Irish presidential election in Galway. Staff members show her a poster that school children made for her. The contest, pitting Connolly against Heather Humphreys of the centrist Fine Gael party, has been tainted by calls to spoil ballots over the lack of a right-wing candidate. IMAGES
