Bold promises.

WE’VE ALREADY SEEN the election bring out the artistic side of one person down in Cork – as they, eh, amended a few posters with some delightful graffiti.

They were uloaded to Twitter by Go Vote Ireland – a newly-formed group that seem to have the sole purpose of getting people to vote on Friday, while having a bit of craic.
