Dublin City Council, you guys need this. Pronto.
Dublin city council, Needs public Toilets pronto
Exactly Francis. No point giving out about public urination if there are no public toilets available at 1 am when all the pubs close.
Too many junkies in Dublin to have any public toilets.
What you want is for the lamp post to collect the piss and spray it back out a bit higher over the perp’s head. And let out a little chuckle….
Jeepers. That might piss off a few people!
We need that in Dublin ASAP the amount of dirty drunk men who urinate on the streets is unbelievable…I would love to see a judge get them to wash the streets for punishment.
That’s right Denise, it won’t work for the dirty drunken women who urinate on the street as they ‘hover’.
Very true John. I’ve seen plenty of young ladies hunker down and let go after a busy nights drinking.
and drunk women pissing on footpaths
Where can i buy that paint for the house
Can I have that paint for school toilets so kids can learn to aim correctly not on the walls, seat, floor. Can you paint it on the seat & floor???? I hope there are parents reading this article & teach your kids how to aim correctly.
piss at an angle. flawed system
or just take your shoes off first
if you take a slash at an angle away from your body you’ll be grand
Dublin City could do with this. Mind you we will now have to send a minister on a jaunt to see how it works.
No, the council could do with opening some public toilets.
Múnfaidh sé sin iad!
Heh!Heh!Heh! Punster ceart tré mhean na Gaeilge! An múinteoir tusa?
