A number of posters for election candidate Suzzie O’Deniyi were damaged
A NUMBER of candidates in the upcoming local elections have vowed they will not be "intimidated" after their campaign posters were defaced and damaged in Limerick city.
In the early hours of Thursday morning, a number of individuals vandalised posters on Brookville Avenue in Clareview.
The posters were ripped off poles and left on the ground with one candidate's face removed from a number of posters.
Councillor Olivia O'Sullivan added that candidates would not be intimidated by the vandalism.
"This is ridiculous behaviour, and a criminal offence to deface, destroy or remove election posters.
"If they think it is going to put off other candidates, then I can assure them they are very wrong. In fact, it is a great motivator coming into the final week of the campaign!"
Limerick Live have contacted the garda press office in relation to the incident.
