    I notice that all their posters contain the word "fighting". Can anyone tell me who are they fighting or what are they fighting for nowadays. All I see is them fighting with each other and other party politicians. Am I wrong?

    When you say every single one, do you mean every single election poster from the same candidate, or every single Sinn Fein poster featuring different candidates?

    Had a quick Google there, and I see Matt Carthy has a slogan on his posters that says "fighting for Ireland", but I assume it's not s literal fight he's attending.

    I mean every single poster with all different candidates in the Meath area and on into Cavan. Mad for fighting up here we are

    I saw one today passing through Waterford where a candidate had a Cartoon version of himself on his posters (after passing the photograph a few moments later - I can see why!)

    He might be an amateur boxer representing Ireland, you don't know ;)

    I can't find any with any logo.

    Apologies MODs but I think a pic is called for:

    EDIT: Found one. All explained here OP:

    Councillor Fennessy obviously doesn't have as much fight in him as his comrades. I'll try to find some pics, if not I'll just snap some tomorrow

    Mod: This thread isn't really up to the forum standard so I am closing it.

    We sat again for an hour and a half discussing maps and figures and always getting back to that most damnable creation of the perverted ingenuity of man - the County of Tyrone.
