Sir, – The anti-poster people have started their objections to pictures and slogans being put up during the forthcoming local and European election campaigns.
We should be excited and positive about having an opportunity to participate and be informed of all those people who are brave enough to seek a mandate.
Not everyone can use social platforms to discover policies or who the candidates are. Consider those living in countries who are denied participation in open elections.
The posters, leaflets, letters canvassing, public meetings, and television and radio debates all add to the spectacle, tension and excitement of the right to pick our representatives.
New Irish citizens: ‘I hear the racist and xenophobic slurs on the streets. Everything is blamed on immigrants’
Jack Reynor: ‘We were in two minds between eloping or going the whole hog but we got married in Wicklow with about 220 people’
‘I could have gone to California. At this rate, I probably would have raised about half a billion dollars’
Matt Williams: Take a deep breath and see how Sam Prendergast copes with big Fiji test
It makes the four-week campaign a festival of expression.
Bring on the posters. – Yours, etc,
THOMAS MORRIS GORMALLY,
Rathangan,
