    I think due to this thread the poster she put up is doing its job. Simply by you's talking about it!

    Is an election candidate allowed to advertise ''Vote No.1'' in a newspaper before an election is called?

    FF Dublin North candidate John O'Leary has an advertisment (pretty much a copy of an election poster) in this weeks Northside people saying ''Vote John O'Leary'' then the usual picture of his smiley face in the middle and at the foot ''Vote 1,2 & 3 in the order of your choice Kennedy Micheal, O'Brien Darragh.'' :confused::confused:

    Why not? we'll just forget!

    But there is a limit to money that can be spent in the period after an election is called.... Interesting question....

    Lucinda Creighton has been heavily criticised in the media for the attached poster. She was accused of cheapening herself.

    The ads appear in Ladies and Gents toilets around Dublin. The picture was taken on Paddy's Day in the Gents in Kehoe's on South Anne St.

    I think it's a clever idea to play on the Diageo Ads and a good campaign for a young politician. I don't think the media would have any problems if it were a male candidate.

    And you have the gall to suggest that other candaidates are desperate :rolleyes:

    I see Lucinda introduced Enda last night at the Ard Fheis speech. Fianna Fail will probably say she's cheapened herself again. :D

    In fairness, Fine Gael posters do belong in the toilet

    No problem Oscar. Sauce for the goose etc. i.e. a response to Ballooba's trolling.

    There was no need to get that last dig in. Also, please read the charter and avoid further accusations of trolling.

    Well done Lucinda.

    It's a bit of humour around it, origional and any negative attention it generates is not for it's content but for it's source.

    I like Lucinda, I think she's an up and coming star of Irish politics. I happen to live in the S.E. consticuency and I've been very impressed with her work and feedback over the last few years..not just knocking once every six years like good old ruairi.

    Fair play to her and she'll get my vote anyway, I think it's important to Irish politics that people like her get a voice.

    I could understand how some hacks could be offended at said poster if placed over the urinals, as she appears to be looking downwards and laughing.

    Myself, I think it's a work of marketing genius and shows how far FG have come since their one of their candidates (can't remember which...help anyone?) put posters up for himself during the last Euros, showing his balding and unsmiling head over the catchy byline "Working for Effective Legislation in Europe on your behalf".
