An election candidate in the Kenmare LEA says the placement of election posters along the county’s roads is excessive and unnecessary.
William O’Brien, who is a candidate for The Irish People Party, raised the issue.
He says election posters are eyesores, adding they are bad for the environment, pose a potential danger to road users and are a huge waste of money.

He says if he’s elected to Kerry County Council he will put forward a motion calling for a ban on posters along roadsides.
He says he would instead propose a designated place in the main towns and villages where candidates could place one poster each.
