POSSIBLE BAN ON POSTERS FOR NEXT YEARS LOCAL ELECTIONS

Date Published: 05-Aug-2008

Campaign posters in the city and Salthill area may be banned during next years elections.

Local businessman Neil McNelis came up with the idea after the Government called for submissions on the control of postering for elections.

The ban on election posters during next year’s election would coincide with the Galway leg of the Volvo Ocean Race.

It’s expected that a high number of tourists will be in the city for the event as well as a large volume of national and international media.
