who cares at this point….
read the mood wrong I see…
The rule is no canvassing or posters within 50m of the polling station.
These are 4meters from the polling station
Really Con? I don’t see the ballot box in that photo.
you’re 1st post stated “polling station” now you’re changing it to ballot box.
Make up your mind.
Is it 50m from the Polling Station or 50m from the ballot box?
And which ballot box, there were about 10 in my polling station…
The polling station is the room where you have your name checked off the register and where the pooling booths and ballot boxes are. The school is not the polling station so it’s fine to have posters outside the school.
50m from what though?
The polling booths themselves?
The door of the school?
Of the gate of the school?
The legislation states that it is measured from the curtilage of the polling station not the ballot box. Just so ya know!
I stand corrected.
http://www.irishstatutebook.ie/eli/1992/act/23/section/147/enacted/en/html
For the purpose of this section, a polling station shall be deemed to include all parts of the building and any land within the curtilage of the building in which the polling station is situate and the distance referred to in subsection (2) shall be measured from any entrance to the polling station or to the curtilage thereof.
50m from the gate of the school then.
Not just the gate, the perimeter of the property
And 100m not 50m
How did I miss that? Yes 100m.
But it does say “entrance to” so that would be the gate.
It says the property and lands surrounding the building, either way, both we’re less than 100m of the ’gate’
For the day what’s in it… :)

A poster stating that the removal of the most extreme anti abortion law in Europe is too extreme, is beyond irony.
There was a NO poster directly outside the polling station in my village in Offaly. Placed high on the pole so it was not possible to take down without a ladder. This will be the case all over the country. But hopefully common sense will prevail today. People are highly unlikely to be swayed at this late stage. But it would have been nice if the NO side had respected the rules of our democratic process.
REPEAL FOR THE WIN!
COME ON ABORTION REFFERENDUM!!
There were yes posters near the school I voted in, I didn’t bother taking a picture to bore the pants off of everyone. I voted NO, enough said.
Good for you sweetie.
She’s not really up to the level we expect. Shame.
I thought she was Paul by a new name actually.
Any more one liners Papi? I just can’t take the suspense?
hello, i like your new username – who did you used to be? and which particular catholic throwback do you shill for?
Grow up scottser. I’m a lapsed Catholic like so many, what’s your point or do you actually have one?
Shame on you..
Good for you for keeping the crappy status quo going. 170,000 women thank you for your democratic efforts
I’m sure that poster is about the Artic Monkey’s new album, snowflakes need to relax a little.
On their new album, my whatsapp lit up with….
” lads, this new Artic’s album is a bore ”
“…thinks he’s Elvis…”
“..pity…”
Only heard the one song off it myself… in one ear, out the other, very ‘meh’. That’s jus’ me tho… :)
I like it, stick with it, it’s a major change of direction but it’s a grower.
I trust your music taste B, must give it a listen. Glad they’ve decided to mix it up a bit.
Thanks pal, you never fail to make me smile.
You too, me aul flower.
You’ve been missed these past few weeks, though I don’t blame you for laying low.
Exams Mildred, all done now thankfully :)
Aye… I’ll do that, one song’s not enough to go on… nor whatsapp messages from the lads :)
new album starting to play it now…
thanks
Call the guards. Posting on broadsheet just makes you seem needy.
Castleknock. The chief superintendent and a van load will be up to crack heads.
the no side don’t really have much in theirs…
For balance, the yes side are dopes too!
+1
No Garda station in Castleknock – get dem lads in from Blanch!
Seriously, some people have so little to worry about…
So, you don’t value democracy in a fair, transparent manner?
Is there not fines applied for this carry on
