Our famous 1916 banner is sadly coming down today – It was a great way to mark the anniversary of the Rising.

The Blueshirts will be happy. Awkward year for them. Must be happy 1916 is near the end.
They’ll be looking forward to 1918 though when they commemorate their great grandfathers.
I love this thought process. Fascinating.
* starts printing blushirts with 1918 emblazoned on them…. €50 each, me thinks *
Haha that’s the way, always wallow in the past, the future holds nothing for us. Keep up the bitterness.
No chance the entire building could come down?
+1916
it was due for demolition and reconstruction in 2012 but the new 22-story building was deemed too dominant for the city by an bord pleanala. you’ll be looking at it for a while yet.
Any way we can get the building torn down too. It’s an eyesore.
…which year was it that SIPTU sold out?
1987
Why 1987?
” It was a great way to mark the anniversary of the Rising.”
Yeah by covering up that kip of a building
They should now go that whole hog in the commemirations and have the LE Eithne sail up the Liffey and blow it up.
:-)
I thought it improved the building hugely.
Please put something up in it’s place.
A giant IBEC logo would fit the bill.
I thought it was fabulous, could have left it to end of year.
Will there be another building wrap going up on it?
