On the road between Clane and Straffan in Kildare. Just noticed it this evening. Not sure how long it will be before the local gurriers spot it and decide to make it "move on"

It won't be there long.
The plan is to move it around the country.
It's not a new tactic.

That nearly tops my query to the Gardai alerting them to the fact that two Horses were lose on the N32 near Bewleys Hotel at 5:30am one morning, the person on the phone asked "What lane are they in???"
