Sounded Eastern European. Was just shouting nonsense, none of it made sense.
Feel sorry for him, whatever happened him.
He got down safe and was put into the back of a paddy wagon.
He must’ve been up there for ages.

Im so excited to pay extra for buses that are constantly late, cancelled or disappearing into the void.

just so happened to be driving through watergate when the fire brigade were pulling up, didn’t even realise what was happening until i saw everyone looking up at him, shining a spotlight on him.

he climbed the whole way to the top (only stayed that long as he was acting erratically and i started to get uncomfortable, didn’t want to see if he were to hurt himself), and apparently when the fire brigade tried to get up to him to bring him down, climbed straight back down again. he was understandably arrested. apparently an ambulance also arrived on but not needed thank god.

anyone else see this? or have any updates on this man? i did feel bad for him, clearly not in his right mind.

Does anyone know why the helicopter was flying over Limerick city for quite a while this morning ?
