I saw this object in a street in New Ross when I was passing through.

The only logical thing I can think of is that it's for buskers to use for collection, but even then it doesn't look very accessible.

Anyone know?

We dropped a cent in it and could hear that it had some coins in it already.

is it a bollard that they can remove to temporarily allow traffic up a side street or something?! I don't know where it is so if there isn't a road beside it then that rules that out.... Maybe its someone's money box... clever! I might set up one

It's not a bollard, there are other bollards surrounding it.

An image of the spot I found on the internet:
The strange object is placed right where those black flower boxes are on the left.


And here's the streetview, the flowerboxes have changed since the picture above.

There is someone walking down the street in PJ's and a veil in your second link, lol

Think this may be St. Vincent De Paul ... But don't know for sure

Isn't there one of those in the Bullring here in Wexford town? Meant for charity collection I think.

Think you're correct.

Its a loose change donation box for charity there is one in the bullring down in wexford.

[allthedoyles]

But it seems to be anonymous .........There are no stickers on it

The one in the Bullring is Maggie Hurley's collection box.

All together now..........."I'm nobody's child.."

3-legged men are a regular sight on the streets of NR - Have you been drinkin' cans too ?
