Yes, planning authorities around the country are required to take this type of situation into account but only after you have notified them in writing.
What I would suggest is that you get a copy of tomorrows paper and hold it beside the sign with the date on the paper clearly displayed and take a close up photo of it beside and including the sign. Send the photo and a letter advising that the sign has been removed twice already and has been replaced (the photo backs this up) Repeat the photo session at the start of each week for the next three weeks and advise the planning department that this is what you propose to do.
The best approach is to contact a site notice specialist that will erect your notice with steel backing and a Perspex front.It is then bolted to wall or pole.
Costs about 200euro but this should solve the problem.Better to do this as your application could be delayed for 5/6 weeks.

Contact the Planning Officer who will be dealing with the application and explain the situation. It is not uncommon. In my experience of this situation, the Planner indicated when he/she would be inspecting the site notice, giving the applicant a timeframe to ensure the notice is in situ e.g. the Planner said they would be out the following afternoon to check the Notice. When the Planner subsequently inspected the site, they confirmed the notice was in place and took a photograph.
Thereafter if a member of the public rang in to complain that there was no site notice in place, the Planner was able to say that "on the day of site inspection", the Notice was in place and therefore the application is still considered to be a valid one.
That sounds like a system open to abuse. If someone is making an alteration/putting in a development that is likely to be met with a load of objections, they could put the notification sign up the morning of the inspection, and have it down again an hour after it's done.
