ParticipantThere was a similar case somewhere outside Dublin earlier in the year. It was a large sculpture that was removed from a town center (or was it modified?) as there was a risk that someone could climb up the indentations on the side of it like steps. Does anyone recall the details? There were a few photos in the papers at the time…

ParticipantSince when did we abdicate all responsibility of parenting to an architect? As a child I used to go the Grand Canal locks around by me – if I fell in (25 ft drop) into an empty lock when titting about and died it would have been my own fault, and not the fault of the opw. What is wrong with this country that everything has to be pc and self-effacing. Christ since we have got money in this country we have become a right shower of right-on twats.
If I crashed my car – would I demand that the design of the car was changed – no. We need to grow up and take responsibility for ourselves and our children’s actions.

ParticipantAll the people complaining on this thread about the behaviour of children must have very short memories. Every child since the dawn of time has a natural desire to climb and explore, (hence the inclusion of climbing frames in childrens playgrounds I suppose). Children (although there are a lot of adults out there too) do not readily see the dangers of their actions. Whatever about calling children, who actually inflict pain on others, gurriers etc I don’t its fair to tar a child with the same brush when they suddenly see the mother of all climbing frames suddenly appear across a river near them.
I can make the comment about childrens natural actions because I still remember climbing every tree I could find as a child and looking back on it now am surprised I wasn’t killed by some of the falls I experienced!!!
