Minister for the Diaspora?
Really?
Loads of ex pats living in galaxies far far away don’t you know
Nice to see an garda empirechana represented.
Minister for the Dispairing.
That looks cool.
They should do that more often. Light it up. It just kind of disappears at night. Bit of a waste of a monument
Anyone know how that happens? As in – is it just a big light at the base shining upwards? Or is there some way of illuminating all along the, eh, shaft?
Few big lights around the base. Was in there earlier and looks better through a camera lens tbh.

Minister for Dagobah
Cool!
Yep, cool.
Fair play to the Irish – we now own Star Wars.
Dear Santa, can you give me just a taste of the merchandising rights, please? Champagne tastes on a Lambrini budget and you know that’s not right, big man. Don’t check the naughty list for my name or Emily Blunt’s (my 2014 gift, ta!) as there were some, eh, complications but we paid off the affronted. Love, Neilo
I like it but…. a few here said it looked nothing like that in real life. That be photoshopped big time apparently… any real pics?
It does look like that but it’s just a little bit underwhelming, in the flesh.
I wonder how this works. Does Disney pay Dublin or does Dublin pay Disney?
Disney paid £24,000 to light up Nelson’s Column in London.
I’d say they got away with just a few pints and a bag of Taytos for the boys in Dublin.
