It must be the country's most travelled toilet, and even though it has now found a home beside the seaside in Co Meath it cannot offer any relief to the public.
Councillors in Meath have been told that the ESB has yet to supply power to a self-cleaning "superloo" despite the council saying it paid the company to do the job more than six months ago.
The bank holiday weekend saw many families flock to Laytown beach, yet those who needed to spend a penny were left high and dry.
This toilet has a colourful history, being first located in Navan, then Slane village, before finding a home in Laytown last autumn.
Since then it has sported a sign which reads: "This toilet is temporarily closed".
"With all this moving around, locals are wondering if it's a tardis as opposed to a loo. They're half expecting Doctor Who to pop out of it any day now. Perhaps if he does he could connect the electrics," said one local councillor.
A trench still surrounds the cubicle, with a loose electrical cable sticking out from it waiting for the ESB to complete the job.
County council officials said the badly needed facility has been connected to the water and sewerage networks, and that all it needs is an electricity supply.
However, the ESB says it has not been paid and cannot provide power until that situation is addressed. An ESB spokesman said there appeared to have been a breakdown in communication. Once the fee is received the work will be "completed expeditiously", he said.
