“Cllr Trevor Gilligan has called on all candidates in forthcoming European & Local Elections to refrain from erecting posters in specific towns and villages throughout South Dublin.”
“There is currently a poster ban in Clondalkin Village which was initially proposed by Clondalkin Tidy Towns a number of years ago. I and others have supported this ban. I think it has worked well and feel it should be extended to other areas in the county. Election posters and more specifically cable ties, are the bane of people’s lives. They don’t help towards Tidy Towns competitions either! Whilst SDCC cannot enforce any bans on posters – I think candidates & politicians should do what is right and refrain from erecting posters in towns and villages particularly where there is an active Tidy Towns Group.”
