When I was a teenager, mysterious street signs appeared near my school in Rathmines pointing to 'the grafton quarter.' Followed them one day as far as Camden Street, where they disappeared (none there, none on Harcourt St, none on Grafton St itself). They were taken down a few years later.

So we're about to enter an extremely racist era in Irish politics, all because our leader fucked up a presidential campaign to never before seen levels, and now he has to get competitively racist to save his own skin.
