City councillors to consider proposal for election poster ban

Galway Bay fm newsroom – City councillors are to consider a proposal to ban election posters. Fine Gael councillor Pearce Flannery is to propose the motion at this month's meeting of the city council. The motion would see the creation of a bye-law before the end of March next year which would prohibit the use of election posters in the city. The posters are made from a long lasting plastic which, councillor Flannery argues, can last for up to 2500 years. Councillor Flannery says the posters are unsightly, a threat to health and safety and detrimental for the environment. More at 9
