Twitter user kDamo is living in Edinburgh at the moment, and hadn't planned on coming home to cast his vote, as he wasn't registered to do so.
Or, at least that's what he thought until he called his mum, who told him that his polling card had arrived to the house, along with the rest of the family's.
Just goes to show it pays to call your mother often. "Sure your polling card is in the hall with the others".

Damo decided to spend "a month's rent" on this, and headed straight to the airport to try and make sure that he would get home in time.
You are all mad legends and I'm proud to spend a month's rent to come home & tick boxes with you. #MarRef #YesEquality #progress @AerLingus

They've even been able to sort a lift from the airport to the polling station to try and help get them there on time.
Thanks for support & RTs. Think we've got some amazing family who are postponing weekend trip to Kerry to come get us. #VoterMotor #MarRef

However, they've hit a few speed bumps along the way, as the flight has been delayed not once but twice, and the timing is looking pretty tight as a result.
Flight won't get into Dublin until after 8pm at this stage. Gonna be tight getting to polling station but equality will find a way. #MarRef

We know at this stage that, despite the delays, he managed to get on this sturdy craft to take him home.

Someone needs to buy this man a pint, and it seems that there are no shortage of offers anyway.
I'm sorry, my phone is melting here. You're all amazing. Thanks for the messages and donations. Unreal support.
