I never thought that I would agree with a Fianna Fail rep about anything but this councillor is dead right. The defacing of the beautiful Luas livery with advertising is vandalism. The bright modern image projected by the trams is a welcome sight in the drab city. Why does everything in Ireland have to have advertising on it - it is as bad as bloody graffiti and there is enough of that on the DART!!! In some Irish Rail stations (Wicklow/Arklow and Gorey) you can't even sit on the platform without sitting on uncomfy seats with ad panels. Where does all the revenue go that comes in from Irish Rail's numerous ad.sites?
