The 2024 Irish general election to elect the 34th Dáil took place on Friday, November 29th 2024, following the dissolution of the 33rd Dáil on November 8th by President Michael D. Higgins following the request by Taoiseach Mr Simon Harris.
In accordance with the Litter Pollution Act 1997, (as amended), all election posters and their plastic ties must be removed within 7 days after polling date. Failure to do so may result in prosecution. The associated fixing arrangement particularly plastic ties must be removed at the same time the poster is being removed.
Election posters that do not comply with these conditions or that are erected on Council property prior to the declaration of an election will be removed by the Council. In the event of a breach of the Litter Pollution Act 1997 – 2009, prosecutions may be initiated.
The above failed election poster which also names newly elected Tipperary TD Mr Ryan O’Meara, currently, after some 9 weeks, today remains uncollected, and is now on show in the village of Two-Mile-Morris, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
I since understand that this poster has recently been ‘laid to rest’, and can be found taunting non convinced Fianna Fail supporters, who attend at funerals inside the gates of Two-Mile-Borris, cemetery, Thurles, Co. Tipperary.
Yes, the cemetery can be regarded as being on Council property. Wonder will he be prosecuted?
