Toe meets leather for the perfect kick...

The American commentary is... interesting

If your response to an all-Lions front five being duffed up by Japan is to attempt to blame the half-backs, you’re just telling the rugby world you’re either a fool or knave, and not to be trusted either way.

Is it dead in the stadium? #IREvJPN

Much deserved try for Japan.
Lineout, discipline shocking for Ireland #IREvJPN

Not pictured: Timmy Martins parklet is gone but there's a concrete base with protective bollards in its place so no return to parking here.

Begs the question why the other parklets couldn't be formalised as public space like this?

Addendum
Sodalicious parklet is still there

Not pictured: Gleesons Spar par... oh, this parklet is still there. Huh!

Not pictured: Crew parklet, forcing the closure of the microbrewery at the end of the year costing jobs, a community hub for artists, knitters, gaeilgoirs, boardgamers, and knock-on vitality for the Wickham Way and city centre.
Well done Kieran Lehane and the Council executive

Not pictured: Ma Hogan's parklet

Not pictured: The Commercials parklet

Not pictured: Sextons parklet

Not pictured: The Canteen parklet, €40k or so, designed in-house by Council architects to be permanent. Even the planters, designed to be reusable, are probably on the way to a landfill

Not pictured: the O'Connell Street parklet, costed €78k or so and removed (after a year) to make way for the O'Connell Street Revitalisation project
