"The flag appeared on the 120-metre Spire on O'Connell Street last September and for seven months it has defied every proposed measure to take it down."
"City authorities have considered options such as climbing ropes, bespoke ladders and a 300-tonne crane, but rejected them as too dangerous, expensive or futile."
"Media interviews suggest many are oblivious to the flag as it often gets tangled and is difficult to see, but once notified of its presence, approve."
"No individual or group has claimed responsibility, but the flag is suspected to have been dropped by a drone."
A Palestinian flag has been flying from the top of Dublin's Spire for seven months, with city authorities unable to remove it. Various removal methods, including climbing ropes and cranes, have been considered but rejected due to safety and cost concerns. The flag, which is difficult to see from the ground, has garnered mixed reactions, with many unaware of its presence. The Ireland Palestine Solidarity Campaign has praised the act, while the flag's installation method remains a mystery, suspected to involve a drone.
