    They have to take them down within 7 days of the end of the election.

    While not advocating the removal of posters, some of them are downright dangerous the way they have been put up (5 to a pole or on parking signs), easy to poke out an eye.

    A few of the papers today were reporting injuries caused to people by those posters, mostly in dublin. Some of them just falling at random times, hitting a random punter below :)

    Sure way to make them not vote for you :)

    I was going to deface a few posters and reinstate them. Just a bit of a prank.

    Many of these are now at ground level.

    Someone's given Bertie a Hitler moustache on several of those big billboard posters in various dart stations.

    I heard some band of like-minded individuals went on a rampage in Galway last night or the night before, setting election posters and billboards on fire :)

    On my road and all. I was gutted that they beat me to it. Nothing would be more satisfying than a flambéed Bertie.
