I can’t help but feeling a little disappointed. The thread’s title suggested posters a plenty, and while this picture has a plural number, it just wasn’t what the title lead me to expect.

It was a typo.
Should read “Election imposters Dublin”.
It’s early days yet Barry. This Flickr group just has two members, but it should have some good election pics before the end of play…

But why is the graffito singular?

I have seen a very funny make over of Michael Martin when passing through Limerick two days ago, somebody had given him shriek green horns, very tastefully done.
I also see a make over on Power in the same area, he got the Hitler treatment and I must say that at a glance he could pass. Incidently the while Powers A2 posters are everywhere, the FF logo is just matchbox size and placed in the lower left corner !
I had a cup of tea in passing where I was visiting last week to find out how the FF canvass went locally : it seems all he did was annoy the locals for his neck in appearing.
