The Mercantile bar on Dame St thinks it is acceptable to dump empty kegs on Georges St for months. DCC [Dublin City Council] have been useless. What do BS readers think?
Everything. As It Happens.
It’s art.
Art in the shape of Ireland, no less.
Thingsmouldy deposits in alleyways that look like Ireland (TM).character hai
steal them, scrap value of them is worth more than the beer inside when its full
Couldn’t give a toss.
arrange collection for scrap innit…

I’m moderately indifferent.
This has RUINED my day
not much to be totally frank
culture and civic pride and hardly a feature of the Irish.
I’d stroke one and turn it in to a little side table or something.
Aluminating !
Aluminatti?
Iniebriatti.
:0)
Why don’t you do time trials for people riding them down the street? Say it’s charity or something, charge them a small fee each time, use small fees to buy big or small beers. The circle of life etc.
That’s a little bit of nothing land. Not the footpath.
And possibly belonging to the Mercantile. Or whoever owns it acquiesces to their storing kegs there.
Pubs have always stored old kegs outside their premises. They look fine to me.
CL really desperate for some outrage here
Pubs don’t store kegs outside for months on end in Dublin . Just the Mercantile , it seems. This is a public site .
How do you know they are the same kegs?
That booze under Tara St do the very same on the footpath.Doesn’t really interfere though.You looking for outrage?,you’re not getting it.
That’s the oddest patch of ground in Dublin City. Could easily be put to good retail use.
Mainly just condoms and dog waste at the moment. And kegs obviously
I’m surprised those normally driving around our streets and housing estates all day looking for stuff to stroke haven’t stumbled upon this little nugget of scrap aluminum
Where’s my NAMA, Joe?
An ex FF TD snapped it up in the 70’s, s’not gonna do anything with it, just gives him a warm
feeling in his balls when hes chauffeur driven by it post a Jules gorge.
It’s owned by the Council (http://www.dublincity.ie/AnitePublicDocs/00385330.pdf) There was to be a food stall there in 2012 and never happened.
Original poster needs to get a life.
It’s just a few bleedin’ kegs. Get a life or defect to Joe Duffy to air your pointless grievances.
Nice little makeshift al fresco dining area for your Ricks Burger during a heroic session. Kudos Mercantile!

Why don’t DCC just sell it to the Mercantile so they can put a door in the wall and turn it into a beer garden? At least it would put it to use.
Move on DCC – they sit on these petty scraps of Dublin for the sake of it I think at this stage. Muppets.
If they want to be really civic minded they should put a public toilet in the space.
It’s no cladding post, that’s for sure.
Squatters rights soon
Has the Mercantile shut down? Are they not buying beer anymore from suppliers? Every pub leaves kegs out for the suppliers to collect the empties and replace them with full ones so what’s gone wrong here?
