    Does anyone in the country know why, aloft one of our more hallowed institutions, the Bank of Ireland, College Green, Dublin, the statue on the right is holding a staff which is mounted with what is unmistakably a liberty cap; a magic mushroom?

    The irony of representing liberty with a mushroom it's now illegal to purchase.

    Asked and answered.

    Thanks. The power of google never fails to impress.

    We can still pick them though, right? Or do we have to pick them and shop them into the local Garda station?
