In 2006 Farcry constructed an arms dump and, along with members of the public, actively engaged with a process of placing firearms beyond use. It was a cultural mirroring of the John De Chastelain process that had begun with the provisional IRA. Over a period of 4 days 200 people entered the building on Ormond Quay and saw for themselves upfront, close and personal what it was that we were letting go of. The gun has been phased out of Irish politics and a new process of achieving aspirations has begun. When Wolfe Tone arrived in Paris he was asked by the revolutionaries what was it that he most ardently desired? He replied, 'a large army armed for Ireland'. Today that desire has gone.
