A historic post box in south Dublin has been removed after filled colostomy bags were repeatedly dropped into it.
The attacks posed a major health and safety risk to An Post workers as well as those receiving potentially contaminated mail. An unknown person or group took issue with the city centre box on the corner of Chapel Avenue and Bath Street in Ringsend, and is believed to have started a campaign to have it removed which began with paint being thrown over it.
But more recently, filled colostomy bags were dropped into it. The box was sealed off a couple of months ago, before it was removed recently due to the health risks.
