I haven't ever been to Ireland, I'm afraid, but one day...
This picture is of a sculpture in sand at Dublin's Docklands, done in 2008 to celebrate Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift having been selected as Dublin's "One City, One Book" that year. The "One City, One Book" idea is that everyone in the city reads the same book. What a great way to get people talking to each other! Although, of all the countries that need an encouragement to converse, I wouldn't put Ireland at the top of the list.
The charming sculpture is credited to the three-person collaborative called Duthain Dealbh, upon whose website more specific mention is given to one member, Daniel Doyle. The image is of the moment the Lilliputians tell Gulliver the terms upon which they will release him.
