Yes posters spotted turned around from the view

THE race between the Repeal and Vote No sides to the 8th amendment referendum is heating up, day by day.

Saturday night saw the burning of multiple Vote Yes posters in Dublin.

In areas such as the city centre and Skerries, posters were set alight and left to burn on the street lights they were attached to.

The Dublin Fire Brigade were called out to attend to the fires and quench them from damaging the streets of Dublin.

They took to Twitter to say their Phibsborough team worked to rid the flames: "Last night a crew from Phibsborough extinguished referendum posters set alight on @DubCityCouncil public street lights."

They also warned of the damage that can be incurred to street furniture from such arson attacks: "Apart from damaging very old and characteristic street furniture it can also cause damage to the internal electrics."

The fight against the posters advocating for a Yes vote in the referendum to repeal has been captured in other areas of the country.

Irish Senator Lynn Ruane tweeted about the posters in her area, saying "So many #TogetherForYes posters turned to face fields and away from the traffic" and advised people to face them the right way if possible.
