“They can see us, and we can see what’s going on there,” said one passerby to her friend on Thursday morning. It took at least half an hour before a guy in a flannel top on the New York side gave the middle finger to the Dubliners, who repeated the gesture back at him enthusiastically. Still, it seemed to receive a positive reception on North Earl Street, although some people did have their reservations. “It’s cool in a way, but it’s not helping the country,” said one woman, lamenting the homeless situation in Dublin. She was nonetheless happy to urge several people to wave back at a man in New York who appeared to be shaking his breakfast at the camera.
