Former Minister Denis Naughton to run 'poster-free' General Election campaign

"I also believe after seeing the proliferation of posters - particularly by European candidates during the election campaign last summer - that they are a blight on communities right across the country."

Independent TD Denis Naughton has announced that his campaign for the upcoming General Election will be "poster-free".

The former Minister for the Environment said that the long-term effects they have after only being used for a short period of time "cannot be justified".
