Junior minister's election posters which appeared at weekend were put up as part of 'tradition'

While the Electoral Commission rules stipulate specific timings for election posters, it seems local traditions allow some leniency, as evidenced by Minister James Lawless's campaign posters appearing during the county final.

A spokesperson for Minister James Lawless explained that the posters popped up on the day of the county final, a tradition in the area, and were promptly removed by evening.

With the expected general election date looming, many politicians are currently campaigning in their constituencies, maintaining a visible presence prior to the official dissolution of the Dáil.

The anticipated election on November 29 is significant as it follows the passing of the Finance Bill, which is crucial for implementing recent budgetary measures.
