What a shame!
Maybe they've been like this for some time and I didn't notice ... but whose unclever idea was it to stick all that reflective stuff on the bollards on the bridge?
Kildare County Council spent 120,000 euros or so a couple of years ago to improve our bridge. OK, some of us figure they went a bit overboard on the number of bollards, but we nevertheless got a classy bit of river crossing.
Now it is tacky, cheap, and scruffy. It wasn't as if the bollards have been hit by cars or anything -- in fact, all they needed for finishing, and to add a bit of extra visibility, was a bit of tasteful gold paint around the tops.
Come on, tasteless faceless ones ... own up and tell us your reasons for this particular bit of environmental vandalism. Or just come back in the dead of night and do the job properly!
