Adverts for the Department of Transport's all-Island speed limit consultation have been withdrawn.
Described as one-sided propaganda by critics and defended as hard-hitting by DoT officials, the commercials sparked a row as to whether the department was trying to influence people’s views instead of simply listening to them.
Rushen MHK Quintin Gill says they’ve been pulled because they were overtly biased and breached the commission’s code on advertising.
He explained the department would have to rewrite publicity material to ensure it meets the required standards.
