I for one am delighted that a monument paid for by citizens is being used by Lucas film as a pimp cane
Hear, hear!
How much did DCC charge for that…. At least the cost of cleaning it for the year I hope.
The cost of cleaning the self cleaning spire?
Are you saying DCC were tricked?
Self Cleaning…. Hah! :)
It was supposed to be…
pee and vomit doesn’t come off easy, you know.
That’s exactly what they said when I returned my debs suit.
Used by Disney you mean ;)
Skin and Bones, it aint such a pity,
If you think im vein, ya better shut your lip,
I cant explain how to be big fat city,
you gotta live large, gotta let it rip……………….anyone??
Lines dont close on this one….
are you one of these people who quotes lyrics instead of forming your own sentences to show you are cool cos your taste in music is cool?
or am i just missing somethin?

There are more questions than answers,
Pictures in my mind that will not show,
There are more questions than answers,
And the more I find out the less I know
Yeah, the more I find out the less I know.

Well Molly, let me explain, but first…..
….. Come gangers all from Donegal,
Sligo and Leitrim too,
Oh, we’ll give the slip and we’ll take a sip
Of the rare old Mountain Dew…..
Now sir, hows that for ya……..Im here every day!…..
Oh this is cheap.
It’s going to keep Joe Duffys researchers busy.
Did the slut in the sink ever get used to promote anything? Besides fairy liquid.
This could be a sound little earner. Are there any stripper conventions looking for a host city?

Would they need so much advertisement if the movie was good? It’s gone OTT a while ago.
Keep a loose grip
Shameless DCC hussies are shameless.
DCC derided for finding extra money in austere times.
Apt title with relation to comments.
This is a great idea.
Saint Paul sayeth that most of the posts on this are rubbish
If they got the price of cleaning it for the year out of it, yes.
I think it’s a fun idea.
as you’re the voice of reason round these parts, is it fair to say ‘the umpire strikes back’?
Ba-dum-tish ! :)
i’m here all week folks
don’t forget to try the falafel.

Maith thú ; )
What are the shiny markings at the base of the Spire that look as if someone has pulled off some sticky tape and the surface came with it?
I believe it is a pattern derived from rocks uncovered while digging in the area.
I’m not surprised the rocks were buried. They ugly.
A fitting tribute to the poor taste of the dubs. No style.
So hard to find inn appropriate…
This is awful. I’m sick of Star Wars already. Wouldn’t be surprised if they weren’t charged anything. We did let them use Skellig for nothing…
That should be “sick of”
Season 7 of The Walking Dead should be an easy one for DCC to pimp as well- no shortage of zombies in the city already.
I honestly wouldn’t have recognised that as a lightsaber handle.
The force is weak with this one.
It’s too short. Either due to cost, permission or technical limitations they just done the very top of the light sabre not the handle. Though from a mock up saw on Twitter there are lights in it and the spire will be lit up red at night.
That looks nothing like a lightsaber
I told you glow paint wouldn’t work….. what else did she last night?
all the Hugh McElvaney supporters here today……”how much did we charge”, how much did we get off them………
There’s a big difference between a councillor getting money for himself and a council getting money from businesses for use to provide services!
Nah, its all the same, just on an even bigger scale.
Money, money, money………whats in it for me/us attidude……it stinks.
What a fun idea. An opportunity unique to Dublin that will probably get noticed worldwide.
As long as they return it to its Festivus pole status in time, mind.
