Socialists face hefty fine over ‘littering’ city with posters

THE Socialist Party in Cork may be hit with a hefty fine under the Litter Pollution Act following claims it illegally plastered posters on St Patrick’s Street’s new lamps.

Cllr Mick Barry, the party’s representative on Cork City Council, was severely criticised for the postering activity at a council meeting on Monday.

Labour Cllr John Kelleher raised the issue and said he saw two members of the Party pasting posters to the lamps advertising a Deputy Joe Higgins lecture.
