Tidy Towns
Dail Éireann — 2024-05-09
============================================================

Seán Sherlock (LAB), Cork East

I thank the Minister for her reply. Tidy Towns committees throughout the country will take comfort from her reply insofar as there is that communication between the Minister's officials and SuperValu Tidy Towns. It will not be lost on SuperValu and the Musgrave Group that customers are voters and voters are customers, and I am sure they will allow for that. At least there is clarity of communication around the rules governing when posters can go up and when they need to be taken down, which is welcome. At least there is an understanding among Tidy Towns adjudicators of that process under the law. I welcome the Minister's reply, which will give comfort to many Tidy Towns committees, particularly where there are voluntary codes or arrangements whereby poster bans exist in certain towns, such as my own.
