Should election posters be banned?

The presidential election will take place on Friday, 24 October.

IT’S NOW JUST one month until voters head to the polls for the presidential election.

Lampposts will soon fill up with the names and faces of Áras hopefuls. But as the posters multiply, so does the debate around them: are they still necessary?

Some feel that the posters represent unnecessary waste and unsightly clutter. For others, they are considered an essential part of the election process.

So, tell us your thoughts: Should election posters be banned?
