I wish to refer to the prohibition on advertising in certain places. Are those advertisements physical structures? Some people advertise by projecting images on to a wall that can be removed the next day. Are all types of advertising prohibited? Does the provision just refer to fixed structures? What about air shows where an advertisement for Heineken, Guinness or whatever is printed on the side of an aeroplane? What about advertisements at big race meetings? When the Pope comes to Phoenix Park one could have an aeroplane circling overhead with Guinness, Ballina whiskey, Connacht whiskey or whatever written on its side or on a banner. I ask the Minister to clarify the matter.
