    If you see it as a quirky humourous variation on the traditional (military) equestrian statue it's actually not a bad idea.

    It fits in nicely with Ireland's traditional iconoclasm and our history of neutrality.

    So the statue of a girl in a tracksuit astride a horse is going ahead in Ballymun and is to be erected.

    I think it won't be complete till they put in the two Gardai on foot tearin after her....

    It sounds good to me. Statues can be funny things, people's reactions to them can be pretty unpredictable. What do the people of Ballymun think? Also, shame on those of ye painting everyone in the area (including the girl on the statue) as some sort of subhuman skobes.

    its supposed to represent where ballymun came from, personally i think it's terrible idea. I mean it's not the best image is it?
    It is. That's the problem.

    =-=

    I don't see hte point. It'll be nicked whilst it's being unveiled...

    Check out the best statue ever. Ted Bates. They had to take it down, there was uproar from the Southampton fans:

    Yeah i live in ballymun and its a f***ing joke. wankstain artists always come up with this kind of patronising stereotypical buls**t.."ooh balymun...horses..the urban cowboy..where's my grant?"
    Still if it clebrates scummers making horses lives a misery then it must be a good thing

    If this guy suggested a statue a staute for parnell street of two black lads playing basketball he'd a been strung up for perpetuating stereotypes but apprently some tracksuited knackbag on a geegee is okay. Go die in a chip pan fire BRL and take Roddy Doyle with ye :mad:

    AND the cnunt who designed the statue is a nordie..what the hell would he know about ballymun?

    ah sure it'll bring tourism to the area. like when the commitments came out, all those american toffs going to ballymun to take a trip up and down the lifts in the flats on a horse.
