This afternoon.
At O’Carroll’s shop on O’Connell Street, Dublin 1.
Leprechaun-themed St Paddy’s ‘items’ on sale and tried on by Sabine Groepl from Germany.
Meanwhile…
Darragh Doyle tweetz:
A lot of novelty green plastic will be bought this St Patrick’s Day. A lot will be wasted. It doesn’t have to end up in landfill. @EPICMuseumCHQ will swap the novelty plastic for tickets to the Museum. It will then be donated to Social Enterprise @ReCreateIreland for reuse.
In fairness.

Ploggers In Ireland tweetz:
The Plastic, Oh No! Band #Sandycove lunchtime #plogging gig. New recruit
‘Two Hundred and Seventy’ (2018) – an installation by Nils Völker at Museum für agewandte Kunst (MAK) in Vienna,
A concave array of 270 plastic bags suspended from the ceiling inflate and deflate rhythmically – their movement controlled and synchronised by 1000 precisely aligned fans and 45 circuit boards.
A constant crinkling sound fills the museum’s vast hall. Like the rustle of tissue paper. Or the rush of the tide.
Or that locust-person in Screen 12, two seats away with the big bag of M&Ms.
Now you have it.
This afternoon.
Sandycove, County Dublin.
Safety notice following a massive plastic spill at the Forty Foot bathing area and and Sandycove beach. Works by building contractors SIAC/Mantovani Group at the Dun Laoghaire Baths project have left plastic strips used in the concrete setting works washed up along the coastline.

Sea Fishing Ireland tweetz:
Every piece of plastic made still exists. Quix detergent. Made in Ireland priced 5d in pre-decimalisation (1971) money. Recovered recently from our seas.
Whale, Hello

‘sup?
This morning.
Dollymount Strand, Dublin
TV Presenter Amanda Byram at the launch of Sky Ocean Rescue [a campaign to encourage people to reduce their single-use plastic use] with a giant plastic humpback whale named Poly . A survey has found that 85% of Irish people are concerned by Ireland’s plastic usage. What Sky has to do with any of this is a mystery that may never be solved.
