Haven't seen that one before but I saw two similar billboards in Dublin. The first had a picture of Michael Collins on the right and Eamon De valera on the left with the same tag line. The second had a picture of riots (in Greece I think) compared with an empty O'Connell Street. Quite good I thought.

That Garda has the longest hands ever....

And no Garda would hold an Uzi like that

Just saw another billboard with the same tagline. This one featured (presumably) the same pregnant lady. She was holding a lit cigarette in one of the photos.

Don't think it has anything to do with any Garda unions.

Curious to know who's behind this, it's far too clever to be youth defence.

Suggestion: They should have an add with a hand holding Irish currency and then another hand holding European currency.

Lads/Ladies,

This clearly isn't an ES-related issue.
