In Dublin 8
at
This morning.
At the corner of Cook Street and the R108, near St Audeon’s Park, Dublin 8.
Donal O’Dowd saw a group of people appear to check the pulse of a man lying on the street, while a man next to him was being consoled.
It’s believed the man was homeless but this hasn’t been confirmed.
At around 7.50am, the Dublin Fire Brigade arrived and, soon after, a blanket was placed over the man’s body. An ambulance and gardai then arrived.
A request for information has been lodged with the Garda Press Office.
Update: The man was in his 40s, originally from Poland and was homeless, it has been confirmed by Inner City Helping Homeless (ICCH)

Update:
We are hearing reports of another death on the streets of Dublin. The man was found near Christchurch this morning and was in his 40’s and appears to have no fixed address.
This is the 27th death in the last 16 months.

This genius decided to drive down to the pier in Dunquin which is a pedestrian-only walkway! He wedged the jeep at the corner which means no one can access the pier this morning. Apologies for any inconvenience caused. He’s been in the jeep all night!
In an update, in the past hour….
The car has been freed, thank god. Thanks to Kerry Council Council for all their help.
Rain – a bronze statue by Ukrainian artist Nazar Bilyk featuring a man with a gigantic glass raindrop perched on his upturned face, like a lens or maybe a crystal ball. The artist sez of it:
The raindrop is a symbol of the dialogue which connects a man with a whole diversity of life forms. The figure has a loose and porous structure and relates to dry land, which absorbs water. In this work I play with scale, making a raindrop large enough to compare a man with an insect, considering that man is a part of nature. Moreover, this work concerns the question of interaction and difficulties in coexistence of man with environment.

Global Irish Acts write:
I think he’s measuring the young lad up for his school trousers!
Meanwhile, earlier this month…
Gutter Dalkey tweetz:
I forgot about this! On the way to Dublin Comic Con [on August 8 and 9], this is probably one of top five weirdest things I’ve seen on O’Connell Bridge.
Anyone?
