I never went up the pillar. My mother went up once with a friend's daughter who was visiting Dublin. She thought she would never get down, The darkness upset her a lot.

Taximans shrine

This shrine has always fascinated me down the years and I've collected most if not all old pix and some more up to date.

The history is a bit obscure: Some reports say it was erected in memory of a rebel shot near the spot by a Brit sniper during the Rising, but the proof is very slim.

I believe the Dub City Council explanation is more on the mark. Either way it's a real Dub curiosity and amazing it lasted as long as it has, even if tarted up and moved.

Word has it that there was a riot from the taxi drivers when DCC wanted to remove it altogether... Enjoy the pix.

Enclosed in a glass case at the end of the O'Connell Street taxi rank is a small but colourful statue of Jesus as the Sacred Heart. Sometimes called Jesus of the Taxi Drivers, this statue originated in the Gresham Hotel, and was being disposed of during refurbishment, when it was offered to the taxi drivers. During a refurbishment of O'Connell Street, it "moved" from its original plinth and was inscribed to the memory of Eugene Lawlor. Lawlor was not a taxi driver but a young man who befriended the drivers.
