It was in reference to some city notable saying it was a symbol that Dublin was 'open for business' to which the presenter (Dobson I think) quipped 'I'm not sure he'd say that if he'd read any of his works' Yeah, Beckett - cheerleader for Dublin's newfound industriousness - naw !!! However - he'd probably approve of the enhanced cider buzz to be had from being passed out on it when it decides to swing open... PS Me daughter, who plays one of the bloody things, is hard pressed to see the resemblance to a harp. She's not yet looked at it horizontal passed out on 2 litres of cider...

Sean, this whole post was crying out for a series of bad Beckett references, but I restricted myself to just the one. The bridge might be a bit exposed for drinking, but I can imagine the lovable rapscallions of the inner city using the cables as a climbing rope...

Never mind hoofin' it over to bleddy operas an' conferences...

I was planning to cross it, but a taxi presented itself and tired and ear sore I took the transport. Great pictures - glad you took these. Thanks for putting them up too. It will probably be passe before I get around to having another look. I was approaching the bridge from the East Link Bridge end on Thursday night and it looked fab all light up.
