Monarch Grafitti Dublin

danielsan122

Hey guys

Doing a very small assignment for an American NGO. If possible could you put me wide to any anti British monarch or anti royal visit graffiti in an around the Dublin area (North or South)

I have already covered
St Anne’s
Edenmore
Coolock
Harmonstown

Please remember this is for a publication so I do not endorse the content or support it. The article is on the Queens's visit plus the slight rise in dissident republican activity.


Much appreciated guys.

there was - probably cleaned off by now - some on the wellington monument in the phoenix park on monday morning last week.

Not sure if there are any photos online of the '**** the Queen' burned into the grass near the finish line at the Irish Grand National.

Wolfe Tone

Will be cleaned off straight away. Political graffiti always is.


May I ask, why would you use the term "dissident" in such a report? Its an erroneous description.

Heres a picture of what was written on Wellingtons monument that I found in the depths of the internet

The rise in anti-monarch/queen/British graffiti shouldn't be correlated to dissident republican activity.

Go walk around parts of the Liberties, Ballymun and parts of Crumlin and you'll find anti-monarch visit graffiti .... I hope you are getting paid by said publication ..... for each day you are out searching for graffiti.

yeah you should get paid danger money because scumbags are the only ones who would deface public property. watch your camera, wallet, phone and your life.

Its a silly term, more accurate description is "militant republicans" as the "dissidents" have not in fact dissented from anything.

I have no idea how they intend to approach the article and as such the only details I will give out here about that NGO is that they are actively involved in human rights and equality so it’s unlikely that article will support such graffiti.

I just need locations people for photos. Simple !

If my original request was worded incorrectly I apologise. My intention is not to have this turning into a political / ethical thread

I assumed OP was referring to the recent murder and threats of future murders by a republican paramilitary group in Norther Ireland.

I think it applies in the sense that they are dissenting from the ceasefire signed by the major militant republicans and dissenting from the intent expressed in the Constitution of Ireland and the wishes of the people of Northern Ireland.

There's some here in Doplphin's Barn, just has 'No Royal Visit' written in big letters across that wall there.

Not Dublin, but for years there used to be graffitti outside Athlone train station "BRITS OUT" ... then someone fashioned an A out of the I so it read "BRATS OUT"
