Sign of things to come

What’s this... has a general election been called? Fine Gael TD Sean Conlan was spotted putting up posters in Cavan on Monday afternoon. But it turns out there’s no need for election fever just yet - the posters are for a jobs information day being run by the Cavan/Monaghan TD. Similar posters went up in advance of the last Local and European elections, advertising meetings but styled as election-type posters. Some contended that they were a way of getting around the ban on election posters being put up more than 30 days ahead of polling day.
