Default Ads for Scientology in Pearse Station

There is a large billboard advertisment at the top of platform one in pearse station currently. You have to look fairly closely at it to see that it is actually an add for the Scientologists.

Surely a semi state company shouldn't allow advertising from such an allegedly shady 'religious' sect?

If I was banning shady sects, I'd start with bigger fish than the scientologists...

I don't think Irish rail is responsible for what is advertised in their premises.

I think there is a company responsible for the advertising on the buses, trains and at stations

The ad appears at numerous stations and on trains

There are rules for advertisments through the ASAI code and unless you can show what is being sold is not what is actually advertised then you have a claim

Irish Rail subcontract advertising but does retain a veto of sorts. We all remember the AIB ads and the turnstiles at Grand Canal Dock
