Spire tells the disabled what the Government really thinks of them

By Fergus Finlay

But more and more I think it could be most useful as a symbol of the Government that has ruled us through all the time the Spire was being conceived, designed, and created.

Increasingly when I see it, it reminds me of a single finger, upraised against the sky, telling the people of Dublin and of Ireland exactly what its Government thinks of them.
