This bridge is designed to resemble the Irish Harp.  In a city overflowing with old, old buildings Dubliners seem to be overly proud of this piece of modern architecture.  Get the feeling they are happy to have something modern in such an old city.

This sign directs you to the beer garden for the local pub in a town called Cashel.  The cheap plastic table and chair in the background are it.
