Posters advertising rallies or political meetings are to be banned from three Dublin streets under new regulations adopted by the city council last night.
Under the rules the posters will be banned from O'Connell Street, Grafton Street and Henry Street.
Election posters are subject to different rules.
The council also adopted new planning regulations to prevent the proliferation of fast-food outlets, estate agent offices and other named businesses on Grafton Street.
In the future, planning permission will be required for newsagents, convenience stores, supermarkets, off-licences and pharmacies. Some businesses, including phone shops and fast-food outlets, are be deemed "not permissible".
Under the previous scheme, shop owners could change the use of all or part of their premises without reference to the council.
