Reinstate 48 posters can be removed after High Court ruling

This report is a localnews.ie summary based on public court reporting and records; sources are listed below.

The High Court refused the Reinstate 48 Initiative an injunction against Dublin City Council removing its posters, reported on 19 February 2016.

The court found the six poster types did not relate to the general election and fell foul of electoral laws.

Dublin City Council is therefore entitled to remove the posters, should it choose to do so.

The initiative may display posters that are relevant to an election and comply with electoral laws.

The full action, brought by chairman Stephen Mulcahy, remained pending, with its hearing date to be fixed.
