The above link doesn't work, a comma has been used instead of a dot.

Here's the link with the dot: - http://stoptheposterban.blogspot.com/

Nice job on the blog Laurence.

The poster ban in Dublin is a clear violation of the right of every
Irish citizen to engage in free speech. It is an undue
prior-restraint on freedom of speech, disguised as a litter law, which
should be tested in the courts if no satisfactory action is taken as a
result of these public requests to have the issue addressed at the
local authority level.

Article 40 of the Irish Constitution (1937) declares that 'It is the
right of the citizens to express freely their convictions and
opinions'.

Article 19 of the Declaration of Human Rights proclaims that 'Everyone
has the right to freedom of opinion and expression; this right
includes freedom to hold opinions without interference and to seek,
receive and impart information and ideas through any media and
regardless of frontiers.'

Since its inception, over a year ago, the law has made it impossible
for me to easily and affordably inform the public of matters of public
interest relating to the Hill of Tara / M3 motorway issue.

It is not only the blanket ban on public notices itself that stifles
speech, it is the lack of designated areas provided as an alternative,
which would be easy to maintain. This exhibits a complete lack of
desire on the part of the Dublin authorities to allow a healthy
democracy to flourish here.

I support the actions taken here today, and hope that the Lord Mayor
kindly entertains some constructive proposals to rectify the
situation.

In friendly way, or their union? the people who actually take down the posters.
