Do you know this bobble-hatted bike half-incher?
Anyone?
Looking for recommendations for a good historical Dublin book to read on a flight Friday. Something along the lines of @chtmdublin (read both of theirs).

The Horseboy mural on Stirrup Lane in Dublin 7
‘sup?
A petition has been set up by artist collective Subset to save the ‘Horseboy’ mural on Stirrup Lane, off Church Street, in Dublin 7, from being removed by Dublin City Council.
They write:
An Bord Pleanála is set to rule on the case of a well-known mural in the Smithfield area after Dublin City Council found that it needs planning permission to remain in place.
The Horseboy mural is located just off Church Street in Dublin 7 and a warning letter had previously been issued in respect of it by the council.
The tenant at the house which has the mural on the side of it made an application to the council in June that the painting should be considered “exempted development” and allowed to remain.
A previous arrangement between the council and the tenant had designated it as an “exempted development”
….The conditions attached to that agreement outlined it would only apply for a period of 12 months, ending 1 April 2018, and that the applicant would have to commit to removing the artwork at the end of that permission.
A submission was then made by the owner – as opposed to the tenant – of the property in favour of the mural….
…Dublin City Council, however, found that the mural does require planning permission, and therefore it cannot be considered exempt under existing laws.
The need for planning permission for murals has been a thorn in the side of efforts to develop street art in Dublin in recent years.

I love Guerilla marketing but I cannot understand why a shop of the caliber of Brown Thomas find it necessary to open their Christmas Shop this early . After all the kids are not back at school yet . What do you think . Cheers.

Conor McGregor punches a man at the bar in The Marble Arch for, seemingly, not wanting to drink whiskey with him. How is this animal still walking the streets? pic.twitter.com/Xw0Y6RipVc

This morning.
Via TMZ:
The absurd attack went down at The Marble Arch Pub [Benbulbin Road, Driminagh, Dublin 12] on April 6 [but only released this morning]
Conor walked in and lined up cups for bar patrons … looking to buy a round of his Proper Twelve for everyone.
The problems started when the guy opted out. Conor placed a cup in front of him not once, but twice … and he still refused.
Unclear if words were exchanged between them, but after Conor downed a shot with the other drinkers, he unexpectedly threw his notorious left fist and decked the old man who rejected the shot.
Perhaps most odd of all … the poor, old pub patron who got socked didn’t even get knocked off his stool. People are just tougher in Ireland, apparently
G’wan Drimnagh.
Chins of steel.

The GAA has been made aware of fake emails in circulation claiming to have All-Ireland hospitality on suite level available.
The association is advising members and supporters to disregard these communications as the offering is completely false.
Croke Park does not use any third party providers for hospitality offerings and all suites are in long term contracts. All hospitality for Sunday is fully booked.
The GAA also reminds members and supporters to purchase match tickets from official sources only.
The limited number of terrace tickets that went on sale this week for Sunday’s finals have been sold out.

Engineers have identified structural flaws in 17 school buildings that will require temporary works to be carried out in coming weeks in order to ensure that they are safe for pupils and staff to return to in September.
The 17 schools are in addition to 22 others where defects discovered last year required precautionary measures, such as scaffolding and protective fencing, to be put in place.
Two of the 17 schools newly identified with structural defects were built just last year, while several others were completed as recently as 2017 and 2016.
