Forestry minister's posters nailed to trees that are under threat from Ash Dieback

The junior minister with special responsibility for forestry, horticulture and food safety, Tom Hayes, has been criticised for having some of his election posters nailed to trees around Clonmel.

The posters were spotted along the Cahir Road and Sinn Féin's Tipperary candidate, Councillor Séamie Morris, has hit out at the "vandalism and damage" it has done to the trees.
