Irishman decides to mount Brussels statue...

The majority of Irish stepping foot on an overseas flight have done untold damage to the reputation of Irish nationals in the last three decades, mostly due to their glorification and justification of the abuse of alcohol and losing control of their actions as a result. It's not getting blind drunk on holiday to the point where they're a danger to themselves or others they need to 'blow off steam', it's a long stint with a competent therapist.

Ah jayziz, I need a holiday.

No, you don't. You need professional help in a country where it's greatly stigmatised.

It’s nothing to do with being Irish . He’s a dipstick, irrelevant to his nationality.

Maybe they should have made it out of metal. Poor Molly up in Dubland would be titless if they weren't permanent. The fact that it's just her tits that are shiny emphasises that! Although, they've given her an overall clean to hide that fact, but she had the the most beautiful burnished baps in Dubland for years before being moved!

Lad will end up having to pay. Expensive mistake.

The Irish self hatred is a very strange phenomenon. I don't know if other countries indulge in it to such a strong extent. It must be an inferiority complex of some sort.

We resemble that remark

Bloody eejits spending so much money on a fairly average statue and leaving it out in the open where any fella can just climb onto it. Surely to feck they could have spent the 90 million on something better like lifting disadvantaged Belgians out of poverty and made a replacement statue using a CNC machine and a few bags of cement

Tanks be ta jaysus we do be a havin' a rail Dub loike yersel to keeps us up ya date with all the goin's on!

Bleedin' cluchies and their statute climbing!

Sure Dublin and its public monuments has been under siege from de culchies since 1014 when that redneck Brian Boru went up on the statue of Sitric Silkbeard!

Johnny Fortycoats must be spinning in his grave.

Fairly sure that it was the restoration of the entire building (including external statuary which our Jack the lad damaged), that cost 90m.

90 million was the cost of renovating the entire building. The statue, big as it is, is just one very small part of the 90 million renovation project.

17,600 is the cost of repairing the damage to the statue.

Play silly games, win silly prizes.

I have a solution, the Belgians should operate a “ you break it , you buy it policy “.

Alright he might have trouble getting it on a Ryanair flight but the statue would look great in his front garden.

Nearer to child than a 'man'.

"Cement?"

It's not a statue from a garden centre.
