It took longer than I imagined it might to get down to Windmill Lane for this, the third in a series of posts looking at some of Dublin’s lesser known street art spots. I’ve been to Richmond Villas and Liberty Lane in the first two posts, and am on the look out for other gems. Strange though it may seem, given Windmill Lane’s historical connection to U2, that amongst the thousands of tags that cover the street, I couldn’t find one “Bono is a pox.”

Here’s a “Bono is a twit” one I found in my neighbourhood: http://bit.ly/U0GYVu 😉
Love the blog!
I lived around the corner for a year or two – it was like having your own permanent art exhibition. There’s more good U2 writings down along Hanover Quay by the (non) U2 Tower.
Some is art. Some is scribbling and even vandalism.
Not a cheap plug , honestly –
The cover of the novel “Cut and Run in the Bronx” is the very graffiti in question .
Guess Giuliani was so efficient that the real live Bronx thing couldn’t be found.
And barely related -The cover on the novel “One Inch Punch” is a close up of the remains of Rathbornes candle factory in the North Docklands – knocked down to make way for a hotel complex that never happened.
