I quite liked the "floozy in the jacuzzi" outside the GPO where was she moved to? I don't go to Dublin much and am not greatly up-to-date on these things While we wait for "Balladhead" to return, does anyone else have a song on the topic? |

But now the penny drops - this time it's that hi-tech thing they put up in place of the Pillar. Maybe it'll get launched into space too some time. Maybe as a celebration when Partition is ended. |
