Anyone know what these are?

Has anyone else noticed the metal poles about 9 or 10 feet tall all over the city centre?? They're square poles with green netting pulled over them. There's some at the Five Lamps, Stephen's Green, Marlbourough Street, and a few more dotted around. Does anyone know what they are or what they're for? I see them every day…

I see them every day and its just been in the back of my mind because I can't think what they'd be for like!

Thanks

I love the line in that press release saying that they'll be in place by 'late summer'. The same people must be putting them up as the ones sorting out the Dublin Bus Network Direct program
