There can be no bye-law implemented to ban the erection of election posters in towns before any upcoming election, it was explained this week at the Castlebar Muncipal District. Sinn Féin Cllr Joe McHale raised the issue at the December meeting of the Castlebar Muncipal District this week and he was told by the Cathaoirleach of the district Cllr Michael Kilcoyne, that he had received a letter from a council official, that a bye-law could not be implemented because national laws allowed for the erection of posters for a time period before any election and the removal of them seven days afterwards. Director of Services for Mayo County Council, John Condon told the meeting that while a bye-law could not be implemented, the candidates could agree between them not to put up posters and such agreements are in place in other towns and areas, but it is a voluntary decision to be made by individual candidates.

Gnó Mhaigh Eo, in association with Conradh na Gaeilge, is launching a scheme in Caisleán an Bharraigh this summer that will see businesses in the town offer its services ‘as Gaeilge’ to those who wish to use their cúpla focal on a regular basis. The scheme is being launched following the great success of its implementation in Claremorris, with Ballina and Westport earmarked to introduce the scheme in the near future.
