Many unrecognisable faces on the lampposts

There are elections in Ireland on Friday, local and European.

The posters across the country with mugshots and descriptions of the candidates but on not a word informing the electorate whether they are running for local or European seats. Why is that?

We have all been festooned with leaflets dropping in our letterboxes but has anyone had a politician call to their home?

Strange times.
