So, what’s the story with it?
Well, there’s more to it than meets the eye.
Shawna Scott of Sex Siopa explains on her website that the dildo is not simply about commemorating the Easter Rising, but about starting a conversation about Repeal The 8th and raising money for Abortion Rights Campaign.
So, just how many have been sold? Shawna Scott tells DailyEdge.ie that she has sold “a handful,” but that she expects a bump in sales at the end of the month when everyone has been paid.
Furthermore, she has described the response to the product as “phenomenal”.
