Election Posters Up

WindSock

On every effin lamp post. This is where our pot hole money has gone to. I wish those knacker taggers would sparay each and every one of those smirking mugs. They won't be getting my vote for their excessiveness.

The money comes out of the candidates own pockets no?

i could not believe the speed with which the posters went up today. if only they acted as fast on the issues that actually matter. typical politicians.

I work with a guy who was/is putting them up, i told him i'd be waiting with a gun if he put one near my house. Haven't seen any yet.

Something to rip down on a drunken rampage.

hi ferdi

no i believe it comes out of your tax money in an assigned election budget.

If you get a certain percentage of the vote you can claim expenses, within certain rules.

Election posters should be banned. They should be made to do something to grab the publics attention other than a race to see who can put up posters fastest!

I've never seen this volume of election posters up, it's a little over the top.

They seem to have outdone themselves this time around. Every bloody pole has a smiling crook looking down at you.
The speed with which they are putting them up is impressive. Going to work
one morning i was amazed to see that every pole on both sides of the road
was taken up, poles that had been bare the evening before.

Raskolnikov

Is it illegal to pull an election poster down?

Sully

Here in Tramore/Waterford they have been up the past week..

Vandalised already. Supprised at how they reached some of them!

Today was the first time I saw Berties go up. Apart from maybe one or two in a bus shelter or those display units outside the shops.

Final Fail were the first I saw up with posters, then Fine Gael, then Indos.

I was driving into Cork and saw these two elderly ladies on the wrong side of seventy trying to remove an election poster from an ESB post outside (obviously) one of their houses with the handle of a brush.... the poor things in fairness!

The mental image makes me LOL.

I wouldn't mind them putting them up so long as they'd bother to take them back down again afterwards... Still, it was funny, I went for a walk this morning without checking the news wondering why I was seeing teams of bees running around putting up posters. Didn't click till I saw the news. I find it ironic in this day and age of "Protect the environment!!!!" that we put half the forests of Europe up on lampposts for three weeks.

Supposedly they get fined if they are up beyond a certain time.

Remember: ask not what you can do for your TD, ask what your TD has done for you.

schween

I went to my parents house this morning...on the way back there was at least four times as many posters...amazing how quick they do it!

simu

I think they're great. The streets look so pretty now.

Hagar

I suupose it would be too much to ask that they remove the cable ties when they remove the posters after the election?

Marksie

It disturbs me from driving when i see the face of bertie and harney staring at me, yuck. Bit like the 1984 big brother.

When i see the slogan "The next steps". I always think, yeah, the sound of your feet leaving office
