wise up, why would you go calling the council. Leave Mr Tayto alone I say.

The amount of politicians who leave their posters there after the election is also unreal. Usually takes a while for them to come down, longer for the losers.

I’d sooner be looking at Mr. Tayto (remember when they were 3p a bag ?) than the proliferation of Coveney, Clune, Buttimer,Martin & Dennehy we get on each pole …and if i’s a tall pole they’ll throw Bertie on as well for good measure.

I’ll be giving my no. 1 preference to Mr Tayto, my no. 2 preference to Mr Perri, no. 3 to Mr King and a distant 4th to Mr Walker.

It’s all a bit of fun for a couple of weeks and as long as they take everything down, including the plastic ties, then I have no issue with it.

The only reason they can get away with it is because as Alan says, Mr Tayto is an Irish institution. We’ve all grown up with Mr Tayto. We can probably remember how much our first bag of Taytos cost (5p in my case).Walkers would not be allowed to get away with it in my book.

It is quite possible that the company would be more than happy to obsorb the fine for the poster, it is after all only â‚¬125 per poster

[...] *Yes, MRSA is indeed a life treating disorder acording to John Devane, none of us are going blind or mad. *The green party will be presenting their Public Transport policy for Limerick tomorrow afternoon. We hope to be there, so if you have questions you would like asked, put them in the comments section here. *Keep an eye out for this guy’s election posters. He might even give Willie a run for his money. [...]

As big a town as Ashbourne has become over the past few years (I grew up nearby), I still don’t think it has it’s own council! I believe you meant the MEATH council, yes?

Besides, Tayto isn’t even Tayto anymore, since they were taken over by Largo, who make Perri crisps, and now Tayto too, in Ashbourne.

bye laws say:- you can advertise public meetings via posters on poles all year round. general rule, 7 days before to 7 days after event date (unless town or city ban them like Dublin City). The Circus get away with this. Most of my public meetings on masts or iraq or bin charges are done that way.
Tayto have no meeting! unless their sacked work force in Coolock join forces with the job losses pending around the corner in Cadbury and around the next corner in Smurfit.

Has anyone noticed the pinstripe of mr. tayto is gone! he used to look like Rambo Burke in that fetching pinstripe.
