    He was a squatter. Corpo paid him off for a tidy sum and have a few lads stripping the place today. Was talking to them there on my break.
    Kind of sad to see him go, especially if the corpo let the junkie refuge expand into the new building.

    Edit sorry for the necro.

    Shame to see it, he added a dose of much needed flavour to the street.

    Was it just my imagination or was there a bicycle frame on the steps before?

    Yeah, he had a painted bike frame as a kind of gate. I hope they leave the mosaic in situ too.

    He fished that bicycle frame out of the liffey in around 1991..he was forever mudlarking under h'appenny bridge..i'd say he found a surprising amount of engagement rings too!
