I made planters for my tomatoes from some of [Social Democrat] Gary Gannon posters from the European election.
In fairness.
Meanwhile…
We have about 80 posters that we won’t be able to reuse due to tearing and scratching. If anyone could use them for anything, please let me know!
Best one yet was a beekeeper using them for an inspection panel on the hive.

Aaron Rankin tweetz:
“I don’t know what I like more about this general election poster, the folksy slogan or the candidate’s look of total indifference.”
Morgen Scheißekopf writez:
“A Labour election poster I took on the Howth Road in Raheny on Saturday.
Notice the strategically protruding cable tie ends, one at animal eye height, one at child eye height and one at adult eye height.
“I contacted the candidate’s election team over a week ago and they promised to deal with it immediately. However Labour have a track record of not delivering election promises…”
Oh.
This afternoon.

We are working on something exciting for sustainability and waste reduction in Phibsborough. Watch this space! We had a great team meeting last night before going out postering. Heartened to know the posters are not waste for waste sake. Together we can create real change. #LE19 pic.twitter.com/FqBkpL523n

Election posters for the forthcoming local and European elections on May 24 went up from midnight last night.
Meanwhile…
I understand that historic areas such as Castle Street are nicer without posters but this no poster map of Dalkey shows the completely undemocratic nature of poster bans.
I hope if they do take down posters as they threaten that they are prosecuted. pic.twitter.com/zMO8JOvhoS— Alan Kinsella (@electionlit) April 23, 2019
The best poster spots in my area are dominated by Fine Gael posters that were put up a day early #LE19

Con Kennedy tweetz:
I thought you couldn’t canvas or have election/referendum material within 100m of polling station? Here’s my poling station this morning with 4 (one hidden) poles with NO posters on it.
UPDATE:
Voting hasn't started yet so its ok. The restriction comes into place 30 minutes before commencement of voting in terms of posters (50 metres). Posters and canvassing are grand today. Electoral (Amendment) Act 2001.

Um.
Not that low?

Is it official @RENUAIreland policy to erect posters lowdown to trip the visually impaired? #GE16 @broadsheet_ie pic.twitter.com/5JwUY9QZgM
