Paschal Donohoe (Dublin Central, Fine Gael) | Oireachtas source

This is an approach that many other Deputies have called for to be replicated in other parts of the country. One of the driving forces of its success was Mr. Stone's work. This is one of the many reasons I deeply regret how this issue has developed and that I am in a position of having to make the case for it and to defend it in the Dáil.

I will turn to the four points that the Deputy put to me, the first of which is the fact that some posters may have been put up during the day. I said at the time that we were referring to an election in 2016 nearly seven years ago. It is possible that they went up during both the day and at night. I accepted that. That was why I subsequently said there were four different dates.
