Photo of Dart wall showing a penis design burnt in with a lighter or similar. There's something Keith Haring about it.
Ah, I know I'm back in Dublin when I get the penis seat on the Dart... There's been many a commute through the years where I've marvelled at the dedication it took someone to burn a penis onto the Dart wall.. One day penis Dart will be removed but that day is not today... #Dart #PublicTransport
