Updated.

The second edition of the wildly popular This Is Dublin map by the crack designers at Workhouse.

PLUS a spanking all-colour edition.

Richard at Workhouse, writes:

As we were still getting requests for the original almost 2 years after they sold out we decided to make a second edition. This edition employs the same lovely quality of the original but with several new tiles and printed in A2 rather than the larger A1 size.

For those who prefer their Dublin homages to have more colour we have also created a new colour version. The new versions (along with all our other Dublin posters) is available from our website dublinposter.com, direct from our office on Dame Street D2 or from the lovely people at Designist on South Gt. Georges St.

We have one of each to giveaway to two Broadsheet readers who can tell us what Dublin  icons deserve to be in the third edition?

Seasonally-attired protestors at yesterday’s anti-Irish Water demonstration

PE Power rhymes:

People thronged till Dublin felt
Alive as downtown Delhi
Your heart couldn’t help but swell with pride
(Unless you’re Alan Kelly)

Placards, blackguards, taps on hats
Young and old and middle
Oh how your soul would sing for joy
(While D*n*s joined in on the fiddle)

Some say 100,000 marched
Chanting for our deliverance
RTE’s stooge saw a thousand or two.
Or should we split the difference?

United in a common cause –
No bond so great as unjust laws –
Government trembling, war declared…
Enda Kenny wakes up pale and scared
Reaches for his Times, smiles as he reads –
“Sinn Fein took over.” Exactly what he needs.

Irish Water protesters surrounding an SUV after it mounted the pavement and hit a lone pedestrian, by Butt Bridge in Dublin city centre yesterday

Further to our earlier post of a video showing an SUV mounting the pavement and striking an Irish Water charge protester before speeding off with another person on the bonnet in Dublin city centre yesterday, Kevin Des Keane – who witnessed the incident and took pictures – writes:

“It happened on Butt Bridge around 3:15pm. A silver SUV (Landrover?) mounted the footpath from behind the lorry. When it got to one of the 30-odd protester that were slow marching at that junction on the road and path, the SUV, after what looked like a brief start/stop situation, didn’t stop and knocked him over. As that was happening more people realised what was going and went towards the SUV. It then continued through with one person on its bonnet a few meters who was also in its way. He managed to get off with being run over and the jeep left the scene on past the Customs House. The first man was taken away by an ambulance. I don’t think he was hurt too bad but both were definitely very lucky. It could have been really bad.”

These are Kevin’s pictures and captions:

This was taken 3 mins before the incident. Everyone young and old were in good spirits. You can see the lorry behind her. From behind the lorry the jeep mounted the footpath.

20141210 Water Protest 3

Second man on bonnet as jeep tried to come off the footpath onto the road.

20141210 Water Protest 4

First man on the ground immediately after being hit by SVU. You can see the position and the distance the SUV had to travel on the footpath to reach the first protester it hit.

20141210 Water Protest 5

First man being treated by paramedics 10 minutes after the incident. Again, more perspective of the footpath and distanced travelled by the jeep.
