Referendum posters on electricity poles 'will be removed' - ESB

The ESB says that posters on electricity poles will be removed and that it may have to interrupt electricity supply to do so.

ESB is reminding people in advance of the abortion referendum that erecting posters on electricity poles poses a serious safety risk and is prohibited.

It says dangers include electric shock, restricting visibility for traffic, posters coming loose and people falling while erecting them.
