Some Dublin politicians are having their election posters returned to them after council workers ripped them off poles for obstruction.
A video shows the DCC workers taking posters down as they were blocking off other signs.
The council told Dublin Live that the offending posters will be given back to candidates to put up in posts in a "safe and appropriate manner."
