Political posters

Sir, – It is my understanding that a law exists that prohibits politicians from erecting posters on lampposts except within one month of an election. For some reason or other this law does not appear to apply in this area of south Co Dublin, where lampposts have been festooned with politicians’ posters for quite some time now. Perhaps there has been a change in the law which has escaped my notice as I feel sure that public representatives, who themselves are lawmakers, would never flout the law. Would they? – Yours, etc,
