Matt Shanahan has been asked to explain how and why he is advertising for people to vote for him by using a laser display on the side of a cancer ward at University Hospital Waterford.
The display was coming from a white van parked on double yellow lines on the grounds of the hospital.
The Independent TD has been contacted for comment, as have the HSE.
It’s not known at this stage if permission was granted for the display.
The display started this evening and a man operating the van told WLR he was due to stay there for a few hours.
