County councillors told voluntary code system needed to progress election poster ban
Galway Bay fm newsroom – County councillors have been advised that one of the only ways an election poster ban could be introduced is through a voluntary code system.
The matter was raised at a meeting at County Hall where Loughrea area councillor Ivan Canning queried a motion raised on the issue last year which was pending legal advice from the executive.
Acting CEO Kevin Kelly told the meeting that in some jurisdictions there is a voluntary code in place but that a bye-law on the issue cannot be passed.
