But before the election of #MichaelDHiggins in 2011, the Office of Public Works #OPW sought a new chair, free of the monarchist shite. #NoKings. The winning tender was from John Lee in Co Meath.
Lee designed it to be presidential rather than regal. Simple, and modern, it's designed like the presidency to not dominate. The frame is quarter-sawn Irish oak, entirely free of the invaders' gold. The shape is flowing, rather than pompous, and the arms express openness. A #RepublicanChair

How OPW’s €490,000 wall reconstruction went from a project expected to take three months to one that lasted nearly three years.
When ESB finally fixed live electricity cable, construction immediately halted after another live wire was found.
If we could all be paid what #OPW is paying for a wall or a bike shed, a lot of my problem would be solved!

TGI … Fenster Freitag. OPW renovations finished on the Royal Hospital’s historic North Range. Subtle improvements that make all the difference: some window panes enhanced further from initial ‘80s refurb, so natural light is better. The art is still out for restoration, hence the bare walls and black canvases. #FensterFreitag #WindowFriday #Windows #FuinneogFriday #HistoricBuilding #OPW #HeritageSite #RoyalHospitalKilmainham #Dublin #Mastodaoine
View of #CahirCastle #Cahir #Tipperary #Ireland
Cahir Castle is one of Ireland’s largest and best preserved castles. It was built on the #RiverSuir in the 13th Century by the powerful O’Brien clan but later granted to the Earl of Ormond and Butler family.
It’s currently a National Monument and owned by the Irish State through the #OPW
Some friends and I tried to visit the #OPW #Christmas Market in Dublin Castle at the weekend. There was an extensive queue to get in, so we decided to return today. It was being dismantled.
Only in #ireland would a Christmas Market finish up on 19th December!

Jesus Christ. This is what the OPW are considering doing with the Phoenix Park. They seem to have confused the two meanings of the word "park"
#park #opw #phoenixPark #Dublin
Killing this thicket of brambles and saplings dead the first time wasn't enough for the #opw; they came back a second time in case they had the effrontery to grow back somehow.
