Maser’s Repeal is on its way back into Temple Bar this afternoon and this time it won’t be painted over because Local T4Y campaigner, Anne Phelan, has only gone and knitted it!

Hanging on ‘knitting needles’ fashioned from broom handles (carved by another Phibsborough local, master craftsman, Eamonn Murray) a group of local T4Y supporters gathered this morning outside Bang Bang Café for its ‘unveiling’ before being transported to its new home.

In fairness

These people are contravening the spirit of the bye-law (2 hrs max parking) with impunity with a blind eye turned by Gardai despite repeated complaints.

They have a Jeep parked for long periods twice a week every week directly outside a shop [Keaney’s] run by the elderly parents of a prominent yes campaigner.

The fact that they are doing so after being asked repeatedly to desist from this constitutes targeted harassment IMO.

“I do not believe that this house should be rushed into making a decision[ on the Eight Amendment to the constitution that bans abortion] … This requires the most careful consideration by whoever is elected. There won’t be a referendum on this in the lifetime of this government.”

Taoiseach Enda Kenny this afternoon in the Dáil

There you go now.
