    The No campaign is holding a giant very graphic image across from McDonalds on the ring road. I feel that it's an absolute disgrace displaying such an image across from a place which would garner a lot of childrens attention.

    Everyone needs a cause, or something to campaign about/for/against ... bloody snowflakes, Do they think standing around McDonalds is actually going to change someones mind from Yes to No ?
    Or is it just that they can say that they were out fighting for a 'moral cause' ....

    It the adults attention they want to garner. I guess they could display it across from a pub, or a night club, but I sure you would still be offended.

    To be honest there's no reason to be showing graphic images anywhere in public.

    Especially when the graphic images are mostly misleading or they plain lie about what they depict.

    The way to deal with this activity is to call the guards and make a complaint under Section 7 of the Public Order Act

    Wonder how much coin they made from that.
    Maybe Frank might open the ledger when he pops over and give us an idea?

    I'm not normally offended by anything, but there was just something about the way they were standing there with their smug grins while across from a place where many families with young children were gathered knowing the upset it would cause young children.

    It's obviously propaganda but it's very frustrating that they are using a very misleading representation of a 10 week old fetus.

    Not a very logical argument,

    Do you propose that in order to protect children from graphic porn images that they should be shown graphic porn images to show "what porn is really like".

    Can’t remember if it was Family Guy or American Dad but they commented on something that Republicans will make a poor woman give birth to a child when she can’t afford it and yet let said child starve or execute it for crimes it commits.

    House, feed and educate these children then.

    Yep, spotted those. Both southbound and northbound lanes.

    For people that claim to care about life they had no problem trying to end there's or another motorists by walking around on a motorway!

    Isn’t it illegal to advertise on the motorway? McDonald’s Cashel got into trouble over that for having a banner ad on a bridge iirc

    The only 'No' poster I've really taken issue with was the big one on the telegraph pole at our local cemetery, a few feet from my Mum's grave.
