Mystery Palestinian flag continues to fly high over Dublin as removal deemed too risky

No individual or group has claimed responsibility for flag, which appeared on 120-metre Spire in September

What goes up must come down – unless it’s a Palestinian flag at the top of Dublin’s tallest monument that no one knows how to remove.

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. Who installed it and how remains a mystery.
