Pro Life posters

just a quick question to ask,
Are these posters hung on trees and poles around the country legal?

Am I within my rights to remove them from the public domain?

Cheers.

Potentially, that would be criminal damage.

Under the Litter Act, aside from election posters, posters can be erected for local events and this is how such posters are usually erected - under the slogan, there will be the details of a meeting.

That said, the people who put stickers / glue posters to everything from lamp posts to windows of vacant buildings are probably committing criminal damage and litter offences themselves.

As Victor sais, you could be the person in the wrong if you did that. It is possible that those posters have been erected legitimately.

For clarity, you should speak to the local council.

That's why you do it in the night when nobody will notice. There are some of these nauseating "Kill the bill, not the child" posters in my area that will be disapearring very soon

Ring your local litter warden, they should be able to advise if they have a permit and if they are put up legally.

It seems in the case of the Dublin posters, the "meeting" was never meant to, nor did it, take place.

One of these yokes :

would be handy for "adjusting" the way they hang so you won't be done for carrying knives etc

I think this should alleviate any moral concerns about tearing them down.

So presumably the same common good arguement can be then made for removing socialist pro-abortion ones which then leads to the state where only the state can erect such politically charged posters?
