DUBLIN CITY Council has launched legal proceedings arising from a large unauthorised Abercrombie Fitch advertisement on College Green.
The huge hoarding, which features a naked male torso, covers the front of a building undergoing extensive renovation for a new outlet for the US clothing chain.
The council says the advertisement has not got the required planning permission.
Damn spoilsports.

I refuse to ask middle class families to give up their deductions for owning a home or raising their kids just to pay for another millionaire’s tax cut. I refuse to ask students to pay more for college; or kick children out of Head Start programs, to eliminate health insurance for millions of Americans who are poor, and elderly, or disabled, all so those with the most can pay less. I’m not going along with that. And I will—I will never turn Medicare into a voucher.

Fine Gael’s Simon Harris TD:
“I think the last number of days have been handled extremely badly, and for that, as a Government TD, I apologise to all people who have been affected.
“The sight of people having to camp outside Government Buildings and having to wait in the cold for a letter to be issued is really just very upsetting and should never have happened.
“There’s also a frustration on my part, as a Fine Gael TD, that I heard about it probably at the same time that you heard about it, and these are the sort of issues I’m going to be raising when I go to the Fine Gael think-in in Mayo next week.”
