Billboard campaign offensive

I am offended by your new advertisement campaign.

Having seen the billboard poster outside of Limerick city’s railway station, asking whether Limerick is safe, it represents a dishonest and indecent portrayal of the city.

Its placement outside of Limerick’s railway station leads me to question the advertisers’ rationale, given that Ireland is in the midst of a recession and could benefit greatly from tourism revenue, particularly at this time of year.

I would suggest that the Irish Examiner use official CSO data to support their claims as to the safety of Limerick before tarnishing the city’s reputation further by publishing and placing such a poster.

I have sent an official complaint to the ASAI.
