Posters, posters, everywhere but do they make a difference?

The clean up of election posters around the county will be in full swing this morning, but two men who had no posters up at all in Castlebar will be sitting down at the council table for the new term.

Michael Kilcoyne who topped the poll showed that getting out there and meeting people and relying on hard work of the past is just as, if not more, important than people seeing your face on every lamp post.

Fine Gael's Ger Deere was the other person who put up no personal posters in the run up to the election, a decision he made because of his work with the Tidy Towns movement in the town.

While having no posters up is an issue worth noting another is the speed with which one candidate had them down - only a matter of hours after he had been elected, as you drove through the town of Castlebar and its outskirts you would have been hard pressed to know that Frank Durcan had a single poster up in the town before the election.
