Um.
This afternoon.
The junction of Lombard and Mainguard streets, Galway.
Anyone?
Via Brian Nolan
Meanwhile…
Damian Duggan of Duggan's Jewellers is describing the new phone box which has been erected outside his shop in Dublin's Fairview.
"There was no consultation with any business around here."#Liveline @joeliveline pic.twitter.com/2xHwQkWABi

I take it the blue booth is expressly for talking to God on the big white telephone. (Handy having them all together!).
why do businesses need to be consulted about a phone box?
My thoughts exactly.
Because it is blocking half the footpath.
All I can see is the pee running out of the horrible blue toilet
ugly, ugly, peak ugly
Not as bad as Neale Richmond.
Did he use the new box to call Joe though…..
Well I’d imagine it’s an essential service for homeless people to ring hostels or even for someone to call them, to you know… chat to someone who loves them.
Just an excuse for more advertising space really isn’t it?
Turdis!
Hehehehehe
These are surveillance devices masquerading as phone booths. Part of the new totalitarian normal of ubiquitous surveillance that we’re being led towards. Meanwhile most of the general public are either in the dark or in denial about where we’re headed hence little push back to date.

Horrific
The spelling in Irish is different than that used in old green boxes. An “a” has been added.
Teileafón is correct. Caol le caol agus leathan le leathan means you can not have an e and an o directly on opposite sides of a consenant. Telefón was never correct. Guthán would have been better.
The advertising screen pretending to be a phonebox in Fairview is placed in the worst possible way to block as much of the footpath as possible.
If I was the owner of the business I’d set up a camera showing how many times it gets used in a day (which will be an average of zero after rounding).
