ESB Networks is warning against the placing of posters on electricity poles/structures during the forthcoming referendum campaign.
An ESB statement reads: “Any unauthorised contact or near contact with the electricity networks can result in serious injury or fatality to persons using electricity poles for this purpose. Similar risks apply when posters are being removed.
ESB Networks has previously experienced incidents where election posters have caught fire following contact with the electricity network resulting in loss of supply to customers and damaged infrastructure.”
