Irish vote in poll dominated by economic woes

2011-02-25 25

Irish voters were set to oust their government Friday in elections dominated by the collapse of the economy and a widely hated bailout, which would make the government in Dublin the first to fall victim to an EU debt crisis. Polls opened at 7:00 am (0700 GMT), giving 3.1 million Irish voters a chance to pass verdict on the eurozone country's traditional party of government, Fianna Fail, and its discredited prime minister, Brian Cowen.Duration: 01:32
