    Well I mean...
    He is the grandson of Todd Andrews, a leading figure in the early days of Fianna Fáil. His father Niall Andrews and his uncle David Andrews both served as Fianna Fáil TDs, while his first cousin, Barry Andrews was elected a TD at the 2002 general election. He is the fourth member of his family to sit in the Dáil. Another cousin, Ryan Tubridy, is a chatshow host of The Late Late Show on RTÉ One.

    the country will always be ****ed...

    All jokes aside, these things are obviously a hazard and littering (from the plastic ties), what can we do about it?

    These things are such a waste of money it is unreal, the cost of making them, putting them up and taking them down.

    When did the idea of this arise? and why does every lampost and pole have to be covered? I was in the UK at the time of their election, and I was shocked that they do not have that Culture over there - at least where I was.

    You would see the odd poster put up in someones garden by themselves or whatever, but nothing on any poles or posts!

    It should be scrapped, besides the waste of money, they have such a negative environmental impact and there is of course the public safety issue.

    I had to laugh today, there were lads putting some up in the Kildare area, Fiann Fail ones, it was near a school where I was collecting someone, anyways a guy got out of his car with eggs and pelted the poster they had just put up out of it. I kid you not when i tell you one of the eggs went through the poster!

    Goes to show the poor quality of them, which would explain how the wind is easily able to rip them from the grasps of those cable ties.
