Hi Agastya, I'm an Irish Wikimedian. Unfortunately you are a little late to get many high quality or interesting images. Firstly most campaigns have finished now, and there are very strict rules about campaigning on polling day. Even in 2015 with the marriage equality referendum that had a good voter turn out, I didn't see any queues at polling stations, and as a voter I'm prohibited from taking photos in the polling station <http://www.thejournal.ie/voting-eighth-amendment-guide-4014941-May2018/>.
All of the larger demonstrations have already happened, and given the tensions around I don't know how welcome photos would be - there has been a lot of aggression between the two campaign camps using go-pros and filming etc. Sorry!
