So the voting is over but FG still have their illegal signs up along the N11 in dublin. Dun laoghaire rathdown CC have clear guidelines for posting of election posters and many of theirs are illegal on this stretch and are a danger, the CC class them as litter. I expect many other county councils might have have laws/rules…

So the voting is over but FG still have their illegal signs up along the N11 in dublin. Dun laoghaire rathdown CC have clear guidelines for posting of election posters and many of theirs are illegal on this stretch and are a danger, the CC class them as litter. I expect many other county councils might have have laws/rules too. (this is nothing to do with the delay in taking them down, they were illegal from day 1)

Its disgusting to think they even had to waste time and decide upon guidelines to stop the reckless and ruthless posting of these eyesores. We cannot trust these scumbags to put them up in a safe manner, they are clearly obstructing traffic lights and road signs, putting people in danger for their own gain.

In years before they were on barricades obstructing small children from the view of cars.

These people are fully aware of these laws, I have emailed all the main parties several times. One ex-green party member was had no interest in hearing her posters are still littering the N11 several years on -in fact she threatened to call the gardai if I emailed again. Another green party member, still practicing did reply, and continued to put up illegal posters after this. After another email he apparently registered me under a female version of my name to get his junk-email, most probably a misogynist who thinks I would be insulted by this, I wonder what any females who voted for him would have made of this.

A garda I spoke to showed no interest either, I went complained in person and they said it was a littering matter and not for them, even after I explained they are a danger and not just littering. In a thread a good while ago somebody told of how one of these posters landed on his car windscreen while traveling at speed.

The fact they are still legal is astonishing. And legal or not it amazes me they still use them, just because something is still legal does not mean its advisable do it, especially in this knowingly unsafe manner.
