Phespirit goes to the Republic of Ireland
Dublin     November 2004

A MISTREATED LANDMARK

The Ha'penny Bridge over the River Liffey is arguably the best-loved landmark in Dublin.

So why are its steps completely encrusted with gobbed-out chewing gum?

Who are these scummy people?

A CRAGGY COAST

Phespirit sits for a moment at Greystones, looking towards Dublin on the west coast.

Green, stoney, rugged and grey is how this coast is meant to look.

A PHALLUS

This is what sunset looks like from the top of the Hill of Tara. In the foreground is .....

lia fáil,
the stone of destiny,
Ireland's ancient coronation stone

..... still standing proud.
