      Absolute state of it turning a Defence Forces memorial into a bin bay. f you can’t respect the dead, you’ve no business running events.

      They are absolutely right to be disappointed by this. It shows such a lack not any awareness or consideration

      I was actually thinking that walking past the other day. There is a big entrance at the back and a bunch of side gates they could use.

      Disgusting. I sincerely hope that people are held accountable for this. Is nothing scared anymore?!

      The event organisers need to give their heads a wobble. This issue should have been addressed during the pre-planning stages, and it is reasonable to expect that someone with common sense would have considered rerouting or ensuring that the space’s sensitivity could be effectively managed.

      DCC statement basically “yeah whatever…”

      A statement from Dublin City Council said: “The Defence Forces Memorial was placed in Merrion Square Park, one of the city’s busiest public parks inside one of its main entrances. This is also therefore an entrance point to any events in the park.”

      They go on to do a Father Jack style “I’m sooo sorry”

      Fumbling in a rancid till to flog a few corporate Taste of Dublin tickets???

      Tone deaf and utterly disrespectful.

      The bins are shite looking but are they actually annoyed that people were sitting eating on the benches?

      >People also were using the commemorative granite benches to eat items they bought or were given.

      „public park used by the public“
      Absolutely disgraceful

      So disrespectful from Dublin City Council, and their statement is disgraceful. The least they could have done is apologise properly.

      I’m genuinely not surprised, another tacky as fuck corporate move: they just bulldoze over anything there before them both figuratively and literally, because they’re determined by the suits to be simply „in the way“.

      Defence forces cannot move bins and advert boards a few meters? Maybe an international training exercise needs to be planned to aquire these skills.

      Well, it’s good to see the state preserves the memory of all those who gave their lives in its service with such solemnity.

      Supposedly the signage and bins were removed but now the signage is back up today less the bins

    17. ShouldHaveGoneToUCC on

      I’m glad we don’t have the cringe hero worship of the military that the Yanks have, but this is just disrespectful. It’s a memorial.

      We have lost all humanity. Its all business speak and money and quotas. We’re not humans anymore.

      There’s a flame in the middle of that memorial that’s supposed to never go out. It broke a few years ago and they’ve never fixed it.
