This piece found on a wall in Rathmines, Dublin, was stencilled by the street artist, ADW.

According to the Irish Street Art website he's gaining a reputation as a political commentator.

ADW stencilled of the Irish Minister for Finance Brian Lenihan and the Prime Minister Brian Cowen as the "Blue Brothers" is a brilliant reflection of how the Irish public see out leaders.

I guess when you have a history of being dragged to the Gallows, you kind of feel "OK" with that possibility! Roll up your sleeves, and fight back! Don't let a bunch of crooks and politicians steal your future! Maybe Ireland needs a "Tea Party", too!
