Watch these fellas clamber all over Dublin landmarks like it ain't no thing

Then watch them get arrested. Oh well.

LET’S JUST GET this out of the way first: do not try this at home. Or in the city. Or anywhere.

Daragh O’Connor and Ciarán Ó Scanlain, being gifted in the art of parkour (or free running), recently filmed themselves hanging off various landmarks in Dublin.

First, they climbed the sculpture at Central Bank like it was no big deal:

    Unemployment falling yet again didn’t make it as a top story?
    Not sure if this is a good sign about how normal and expected this is, or whether it was withheld to avoid upsetting Shinners.
