PIC: There’s an unexploded missile on the streets of Dublin today

Conor Heneghan

Don’t worry, it’s fake.

Missiles on the streets of Dublin are, thankfully, a rare sight, but there’s one on King Street in the capital today and it’s there for a very good reason too.

The missile is a fake one and is a piece of street art designed by Will Leger on behalf of Goal Ireland to raise awareness of the situation in Syria.

Tomorrow marks five years since the start of a conflict that has forced just under 12 million Syrians to flee and has caused untold damage in the country.
