No longer. They did a big auction to pubs/clubs/bookies at knockdown prices as a novelty. Some places bought them and then Covid hit right after, hardly ever making into display. Ycnmiu.
The thing was just another one of those money wasting FFG schemes, cursed from beginning to end.

Did they have the little FF men inside them, as purported by Pat Rabbitte many years ago?

Personalized skate parks for everyone would be cheaper. Suggestion yesterday of putting the army on bridges along the motorway sounds like much better craic.

Not any more, they were sold and scrapped for less than a tenner each.

€55m e-voting machines sold for just €70,000

Every vote counts, especially when they cost taxpayers over €55m.

There was a suggestion to keep one, but I'd say the episode was so fucking embarrassing, I somehow doubt they would want a reminder on display in the National Museum.

It's almost surreal to read the articles saying things like "around the Spring Lane area" rather than saying it happened in the Halting Site. Bizarre stuff. Paul Byrne just said it straight out on 96fm this morning so not sure why the print media are so reticent.

I'm not sure why people are so fixated on this. The world and its mother know its the halting site once Spring Lane is mentioned so I dont why so many people are demented from them not saying the halting site all the time.

Why is it so important that it is said explicitly every time? To ensure Travellers are, to use a phrase, are called out? So that all the Travellers involved in the violence who also read the Echo (lol) will suddenly stop their criminal behaviour? Or is it to show the woke mind virus has penetrated even the minds of local journos whose offices are about 800m from said halting site and might get a visit from the perps? Discuss.

There are a lot of people living in Spring Lane that have nothing to do with the halting site up near there. The halting site barely (if even) touches Spring Lane so the reportage when it’s about what goes on in the halting site should not be about Spring Lane - lazy journalism to give cover to wokies
