'Disturbing' poster vandalism slammed by candidates

“I just find it extremely disturbing with young children going to school and people in general, it’s not an image they want to see.”

Recent instances of poster vandalism in Cork city have been described by the candidates involved as ‘disturbing’ and undemocratic.

In one example, where a poster of Deirdre Clune was defaced, a bleeding cut was drawn across her throat with a knife also drawn on the poster.
