If you’ve nothing better to do today, I’ll be on RTEs The Week in Politics doing a piece on election leaflets. Hopefully I didn’t curse , stood straight and kept my belly pulled in.
I had a few thousand leaflets etc with me but we just covered a table with a fraction of that. Its a small four minute piece so it was quick questions and some unusual leaflets and gimmicks.
The piece was recorded in The National Print Museum, which is where there will be an exhibition of leaflets, posters and other election/political related material starting at the end of March and running for two months or so. During the course of the run I will be doing a number of talks/tours … anyway there will be more of that anon.
Some of the leaflets and items covered (assuming they make the cut 🙂 )….
