I remember An Tóstal when I was a boy but can't remember it having achieved anything.

The saga of the water pipes is still ongoing

Strangely enough I don't....I thought it was gone by the time I'd have noticed or bothered. Water pipes ? what water pipes......

It looks absolutely brill and that girl was a great choice. I wasn't aware it was hidden away so to speak....what a shame.

I passed it earlier, the posters are because of the strike, but you can just see our lovely sculpture in the grounds of the school.

This is a modern pic (an hour old) so I'll delete it later.

I was just picking up on your comment above and the ongoing project to replace around 19 kilometres of Dublin’s centuries-old water pipes/ infrastructure which began 2013..

jaze that's disgraceful....it should be where you said... someone should start a facebook petition page and donations managed by an account with a bank until the dosh is enough to have it mover... That statue cost £200.000 it's wasted there.

You know with the lack of any investment by the Corpo over the years, it's a bit late for them to have to wait until the bosses in Brussels tells them to sort out the wooden pipework from the 'Back O the Pipes' days.
