With more public parks in dublin under threat ,Mega Girl reflects on the lost park space in Dame st

As a child living in the city i am horrified at what the council have done to the lovely park on dame st. I loved that place ,it was a great place to meet friends or just chat with other people who would be sitting about on the benches.Now there are no benches to have a rest on.When i look across the road there are rows of pubs for adults to sit and have fun in .I dont wunt to go in a pub Why should adults have lots of thing and kids have nothing and why do we need more offices when they havent even got someboby to be in them. I made a protest with my friends to stop the building last year
we even stayed out in the rain because we wunted our park back.
The lovely statues are gone now too, my Ma says the people who made the building earn €250 million a year ,thats very greedy.
I hope we dont lose anymore parks to greedy fat cats.

See you in Dartmoth sq tomorrow ...KEEP THE PARKS FOR KIDS

and see you tomorrow in Dartmouth sq
What they have done to my park makes me feel SICK !
