Re: Re: O’ Connell Street

That drives me nuts! Though London also seems to have the same regimentalising problem in fairness – apparently only the Americans can light their trees properly!

An elegant tree has been sourced for this year for O’Connell Street anyway – nicer than last year and surely the tallest we’ve ever had, if not quite the largest. It shall be interesting to see what barriers are put in place to prevent these silver stars from being nicked and sold for €20 a pop round the corner on Henry Street.

Great idea to attach decorations to the lampposts the whole way down the thoroughfare. Just a pity something a bit more distinguished than blown up tacky Henry St versions weren’t selected for the city’s main street.
