Saw AFRI Posters at junction of O'Connell St and Henry street Being removed.

Surreal Non-Political Air in O'Connell St Corpo say maybe it is the Cops - Cops say maybe it is the corpo.

This happened at approx 12.30. Myself and AFRI have informed the Gardai. |We are checking with Corporation at present what the reason for this is.

Soon after dealing with Gardai and Afri I took a little walk and found that surreally there are no referendum Posters on OConnell st except for an unreadable folded over one of those ALDI style Yes Posters.

Anyone know anything about this?

I asked the longstanding doorman of the Gresham if this was strange. He seemed to think it was.

I asked a corpo streetsweeper had his guys been doing it. He said no but thought that it was another corpo gang doing it. He said that as far as he knew - posters in O'Connell St had been declared illegal.

We have now called the Corpo and they keep giving us different numbers to ring - no obvious awnser yea or nea - one of them said something about the litter act.

When talking to store street I suggested that they could check footage from CCTV cameras to see who was doing it and if it was systematic? Govt Employees? Freelancers? Gardai? Corporation?
