levels of advertising in Ireland.
Daltonr - I, too, am always struck by the volume and aggressiveness of the advertising in Ireland. It is particularly disorientating at Dublin Airport, especially if you have had a long flight, to walk along the escalators literally flanked with hundreds of repetitive insistent images. On reaching the carousels following directions on luggage-arrival is made difficult by advertisements broadcast on the screens. Get a trolley and that too has ads. Dublin's train stations - especially Heuston - are also becoming one huge advertisement and the beauty and simplicity of Wren's architecture disappears behind it! However isn't this the capitalist dream - wherever there's a bit of money there will be steerage towards stuff on which to spend it!
