    Poster fine fright for independent

    INDEPENDENT candidate Eddie Collins-Hughes was "down in the dumps" yesterday. The Carlow candidate was forced to go to Powerstown dump in an effort to salvage his campaign posters.

    The former frontman of the Carers' Association put his posters up too early, according to Carlow Co Council.

    They took them down, placed them in the stores in the dump and threatened to fine him €125 for every poster they were forced to remove.

    LOL :D

    He's had his posters up for aaages. All over the place too, at the entrances to Carlow IT and all around Kilkenny. He has a lot of them at major road junctions, so that people end up staring at them whilst stuck at the lights ;)


    I might still vote for him though, i'd rather not vote for FF or FG.

    His posters are no good, His picture is not on them.

    Why fine him? The other parties had their posters up before the election was called. ????

    Of course it would be better if they weren't allowed poster at all - especially those Labour ones designed to look like road signs

    but yeah posters have been up around my area (Castleknock) for a month by now
