    I was in Brussels recently and they had public urinal like this:

    Obscures the user without inclosing them. Thought it would be a great and relatively inexpensive addition to Dublin, even if there was only a few on the busier streets.

    They also use the tunnel between the Metro and Central Station! The locals refer to it as the P1ss Tunnel!

    It's probably the most disgusting bit of public transport infrastructure I've ever encountered.

    Really?! Yuck! Well we won't have to worry about using a metro tunnel as a toilet here for about another 20 years I's say...

    We use other things for that purpose!

    I think some people of a certain age, are misunderstanding what we mean by Public Toilets, rather than toilets in Easons or shopping centres.

    These places were built under Queen Victoria along with water fonts and public parks to enhance the standard of living in Cities.
    They were bricked up by penny-pinching Councillors in the 80's and 90's.
    An interesting article below on the matter with some photos of our hidden toilets.

    There is a bricked up one in ballsbridge with a large 'development opportunity' sign on it and a number to call to contact dublin corporation. I wonder will anyone take them up on the offer? Some in London have been converted into cafes, bars and even homes.
