IT’S HARD OUT here for a plinth.

The plinth at Leinster House has been getting a lot of action of late – what with samurai sword-wielding intruders, resignations, and loads and loads of announcements.

The poor thing has set up its own Twitter account, @DailPlinth, to air its grievances. We can’t say we blame it at all.

It’s a lonely life

Despite only being set up today, the account already has over 160 followers. Be strong Plinthy, we love you.
