Intriguing signs from Ireland

| | Comments (0) | TrackBacks (0)

When I say "signs" I mean signs in the most prosaic sense, not in a spiritual or foretelling sense.

And yet, there's nothing prosaic about these signs (and plaque and poster) that caught my eye on my recent trip to Dublin and environs.

Sick and Indigent Roomkeepers Society
Anyone care to submit a caption for this one?

Horse & Carriage parking
If you can't read the sign, it says "Horse and Carriage Only." We didn't see any horses or carriages near St. Stephen's Green, where this is posted, or, indeed, within Dublin at all, but one must presume horse and carriage rides a popular tourist attraction, just like in Chicago.

Sinn Fein
We saw this poster stuck to a lamp post two days after Easter.

St. Patrick plaque
It was easy to miss this little plaque, stuck in the flower beds at St. Patrick's Cathedral.
