We haven’t gone back in time. But you might feel a bit confused at first. The traditionally British red post boxes are popping up all around Dublin.

What’s going ON?

Still need help guessing?

It seems to simply be a stunt by An Post to promote their 1916 Rising Exhibition – GPO Witness History. The exhibition opens next Tuesday, March 29, and this controversial stunt has to be commended.

The locations of the red boxes include Dun Laoghaire, Northumberland Road, Graton Street and Liberty hall.
