Wonder if they will put the joke up?

Probably just changing the slogan....

will be coming down that way tomorrow, will update if they have painted a new grain of wisdom.

Noticed that they had cleaned it on sunday, for a second I thought it had fallen.

I remember the "free nicky kelly" slogan but I also remember it had "in every box of cornflakes" at the end.

Now thats a joke.

RosieJoe · 17-10-2007 12:17pm

Looks like the slogans are to be a thing of the past! Still no sign of a new one.

Had heard that a Counciller requested that the slogans were removed, maybe in the last year or so!

nanook · 21-10-2007 8:12am

still nothing

but they have painted the old words of wisdom black.

Cant wait for the next installment of replubicinism wisdom

nanook · 05-11-2007 9:28am

passed there at the weekend. Still nothing.

Does anyone know if they were made get rid of the slogans.

On another, it would be a great place for a certain austrailian electrical wholesaler

And finally a new slogan - something about a full time fire service for north wicklow. They just about managed to fit it into the remaining lenght of wall. And not a shinner, provo, chuck-our-law wording in sight!

SlinkyToo · 26-11-2007 2:35pm

Down with this sort of thing.

Charlie-Bravo · 01-12-2007 9:27pm

...Careful now!

Now that's a slogan with general interest.

ian_m · 05-01-2008 10:54am

Ironic that it used to say "SINN FEIN BUILDING THE REPUBLIC" whilst half of the wall had fallen down.

CHD · 06-01-2008 1:47pm

no not really

okgirl · 09-01-2008 11:17pm

Regarding 'the Wall'...has any one any idea what the wall originally was? My OH has seen a copy of a 200yr old picture and there was a church roughly in this spot. Perhaps this is an old church wall or gravyard wall.

Oh no just had a thought...... Church of Ireland!!

RosieJoe · 27-02-2008 1:37pm

Noticed yesterday that there is a new slogan up now!

"Vote No. 2 Lisbon Treaty".

The wall forms part of a parcel of land that Dublin City Council own, within the land is an old break pressure water tank that forms part of the water supply network from Vartry Waterworks in Roundwood to the reservoirs in Sandyford Industrial Estate.

Somebody has painted over this with white paint. Looks like a hasty job!

jellybaby21 · 25-05-2008 6:25pm

They must have been up late last night. They managed to squeeze in B.TIMMINS, now included in the text.

RosieJoe · 27-05-2008 9:54am

Seems the Lisbon Treaty has touched a nerve as it has been painted again

Vote No to Sinn Fein graffiti being graffitied

The first slogan on that wall was "Free Nicky Kelly",that would have went up on it as far as I'm aware in 1974 and was there untill he was released sometime in the 80's.It was for when he was in for the sallins train robbery (he used be in the IRSP)

Republican Slogans on that wall have been there for over 30 years,ye pack of blow ins

g'up ya bhoy ya:)

ya that wall has been a 'provo propaganda billboard' fer years an years. I actually know of a chap (from Kilcoole) and have seen him wandering up with a brush and pot o' paint to write a slogan or two, now i'm not saying he has written them all but judging from his very nationalistic stance i wouldn't be surprised if he had !!!! do ye remember the garage that used to be down under that wall ???(the remains were still there last year i tink)

twas run by Austin Byrne iirc.

Jaafa · 07-10-2011 10:48pm

Sorry to drag up this thread but I always wondered about that wall. Anyone know who's behind it? (not literally)

Annasopra · 09-10-2011 10:22am

The slogan on it at the moment is weird - something about boats - anyone know what it's about?

slowburner · 09-10-2011 10:50am

Is it something to do with boats on a GAA crest?

WiCkLaMuLlA · 09-10-2011 10:47pm
