Electoral Commission seeking views on election posters. Restricting them would work to benefit of incumbents, who have other means of making themselves known, & aesthetically we can surely live with them for 3 weeks every few years?

As of now, I am estimating that there will be 40 female TDs in the next Dáil. Not a massive increase in the number in the outgoing Dáil (37) and would be more or less the same percentage level, but it still will mark a record number of female representatives in Dáil Éireann
