One of the oldest telephone boxes in Ireland could be reinstalled on a street in Dublin if the right location can be found, Eir and Dublin City Council have indicated. The 1920s telephone box was originally on Parkgate Street, near the Seán Houston Bridge, but was moved to Dawson Street, on the city’s southside in the 1990s. “They’re such a lovely part of Dublin and once they’re gone it’s very difficult to get them back,” he said. Mr McCue said he believed the phone kiosk was probably a copy of the early British phone boxes designed by architect Sir Giles Gilbert Scott. We are awaiting a response from a representative of Eir regarding the current whereabouts of the kiosk.”When contacted by The Irish Times, Eir said: “The phone box is in storage in Eir, it has been refurbished.
