POET PATRICK KAVANAGH was gifted a pair of red shoes by sloppy-handed vandals last month, proving that sometimes we just can’t have nice things.
Thankfully, the dodgy paint work has now been removed from the Irish bard’s feet, and he’s looking a little happier about the situation.
It took a team of specialists from the Cast Bronze Foundry in Dublin to remove the paint, but the result is pretty seamless:
The bronze statue – which belongs to Dublin City Council and was created by artist John Coll – sits at the edge of the Grand Canal on the south side of Dublin, overlooking its green waters.
It’s not the first time someone has decided to spruce it up a bit: last year, a kind soul furnished Kavanagh with a poncho during some bad weather.
At least that item could be removed easily. Future statue stylists, take note.

This feels like a co-ordinated attack, Bernie is beginning to grow in the poles
@Forest Hump: I’ve been following the ‘liberal’ US press and they have definitely ramped up the anti Sanders pro Biden rhetoric in the past few weeks. Pushing strongly for Biden/Buttigieg.
@Forest Hump: Bernie will win the whole thing. Watch this space.
@DBennie: ….and pigs will fly
@Forest Hump: You got it, man! It’s total anti-Progressive bullshit! At least someone is paying attention.
@Forest Hump:
Guess you missed this piece of investigate journalism, along with the Journal.

Are there any younger politicians with ability & ambition in the USA.
@MiseBean: Young Donald Trump?
@MiseBean: he might be ambitious but he has neither youth or ability going for him, he is 73.
@MiseBean: like Tulsi Gabbard?
@MiseBean: AOC?
@Al Fresco: pretty sure he meant junior
@colm connolly: that’s not what he said.
@MiseBean: tulsi gabbard. But she wasn’t included in last night’s debate
@Al Fresco: That does not matter one iota. Sorry.
This is low. Bernie is a socialist and a core concept of that is equality. No-one believes he’s a sexist based on a 30 year old sound bite. This will backfire on her.
@A2 Poster: buts it’s not for warren to gain voters it’s for Sanders to lose them so Biden can win. Sanders not a democrat so DNC don’t want him to win. Even though he’s prob the only one of Biden/Warren/Sanders that can beat Trump.
@Cormac Flanagan: how is he not a Democrat?
@A2 Poster: Dude! This is a bullshit story!
So this conversation happened some time ago and now she won’t shake hands?
She took his help and now is throwing him under the bus. Nice.
@Alan McDonald: Nah, dude this is an over-exaggerates BS story.
Why is it sexist to say a woman “couldn’t” be elected? Replace that with “shouldn’t” and it would be sexist.
Democrats will make life easier for Humpty Trumpty. Should have been Sanders last time round but I fear his age will come against him this time.
Wow! Great work buying into a bullshit, anti-Sanders story!
Nice ‘journalism!’ Who are you working for really??? CNN?!
So its men against women now. Bottom of the barrel stuff their lads, debate the real issues. Bernie is the man…uh…person. Wish we had someone like that here to vote for come February.
have your say
