The accompanying caption reads: "In Merrion Square, inside the north west corner gateway, there's a gaudy statue of Oscar Wilde composed of different coloured stone, sitting on a large granite boulder. This has been called at least once The Queer with the Leer, The Fag on the Crag or The Quare in the Square ('quare' being a dialectal Irish pronunciation of queer)." How could we not share that tidbit?
