Text
The Member may recall that, in North Down some years ago, a gentleman — a farmer — advertised an evening event for a cancer charity. He put up 12 posters on lamp posts in the North Down area, and the Department took each one of them down and charged him £50. He had to pay £600 out of his own pocket for that. Hypocrisy is certainly at work here.
