The Communist wall opposite the IFSC

**Leeza** · 23/09/2006, 9:36 PM

Did anyone else every see this before? Its just across from the IFSC on the South Side. Its down the lane on your left towards Trinity Inn on Pearse Street.

I'm just wondering what the story is with it. I've heard before that the Irish Communist Party actually owns it and allows their youth wing to spraypaint on it. (PS- the propaganda is crazy, but I find it funny that commie propaganda resides right beside the cities financial hearbeat)

Didn't think the CP owned it. Most of the graffiti seems to be Anarchist. Its on the wall of an arts centre.

You beat me to it.

I hate to think what that thoroughly modern man might've said had he stumbled upon a coconut or banana tree first....

And don't forget Richard Nixon, who was brought to see the Great Wall. When asked for his reaction he said "It is indeed a great wall."

KOH

Yeah that was classic too, was on Fantasy Football League a few times, bloody brilliant show in its day. Hard to believe it's 12 years ago since that started.

Pass by that wall everyday, just a load of slogans from schoolkids I reckon, they seem to have a light shining on it from the Ulster Bank HQ too, kinda weird when walking by it at night because it's lit up and you can't see the lightsource.

Well in fairness I'd be pretty freaked if I stepped off a bus in China and came across either of them aswell

It had sold out when it moved to the tele from the radio.... That was back in the days when 606 was must listen, not a load of numpties who've watched a game on the tele giving out about swearing or something equally inane and ultra PC...
