Des Bishop lent a helping hand to #marref yesterday by offering to drive people to their polling stations.
If anyone is feeling lazy and hasn't voted in Dublin I will give you a lift to the polling station right now.

The comedian tweeted shortly after 7:00pm, and by 7:41pm he chauffeured his first voter.
Well @BigDoyler16 took the lift. Just waiting for him while he votes yes! pic.twitter.com/kNi6IxDGs4

Things got fairly busy from there:
So next pick up at Heuston. Hard to organise lifts because the @ messages went a bit mental.

Where to next? Don't need to go to Busaras now. Next booking is Heust Station at 9.

He even waited in the taxi rank outside Heuston to catch a voter from the train:
Outside Heuston station waiting for my 9pm pick up. Across the road from taxis
