Council has received complaints of early postering by three election candidates
Dún Laoghaire Rathdown County CouncilA spokeswoman for the council said it was investigating complaints that posters for the candidates had been erected in advance of the polling date being set. Failure to remove an “illegal election poster” is subject to a fine of €150 per poster, she said.
In the case of some of Cllr Fleming and Cllr O’Connell’s posters, the public meeting label had become detached revealing the appeal for a vote. Cllr Brennan’s public meeting posters remain intact, but the meeting was held on October 30th, more than a week ago. “I am not in breach of anything. I have been checking the posters and I’ve fixed any of them, and I’ve checked with the council and I am categorically not breaking any laws.”
Shay Brennan said he had the environment in mind when advertising his meeting.

It was on a very popular and useful topic, careers in the EU, and we got many queries about it.
