A South Dublin County Council spokesperson has said that the council has received “a couple of calls” after a “No” sign was erected near the Hellfire Club -Montpelier Hill – in Dublin.

The sign appeared on Tuesday afternoon, three days before the Irish public will go to the polls to vote on the Eighth Amendment.

Only a few days ago, a similar No sign was erected on Ben Bulben in Sligo.

A spokesperson for South Dublin County Council said that they are aware of the no sign after receiving “a couple of calls” and that the issue is being handled by the relevant department.

JOE reader Catherine Keogh shared this images and said that she only “spotted it this evening. It only went up this afternoon/evening and it’s still there.”

Montpelier Hill is the closest to Dublin city of the group of mountains – along with Killakee, Featherbed Bog, Kippure and others – that form the ridge that bounds the Glenasmole valley
