ERIN GO BRA-LESS AT PORTAL

NYC model e-flashes Dubliners

- By DAVID PROPPER

An OnlyFans model flashed the New York to Dublin “Portal” installati­on Sunday as organizers rushed to make fixes to the 24/7 livestream that has been marred by lewd behavior since it opened last week in the Flatiron District. Ava Louise, who has some 400,000 Instagram followers, claimed in a post Sunday that she forced organizers to pull the plug on the public artwork after she flashed her breasts from the American side to her Irish counterpar­ts.

“I thought the people of Dublin deserved to see two New York homegrown potatoes,” she says in the video she posted, which shows her lifting her tank top in front of the NYC Portal.

She then posted video of her boyfriend talking to purported security afterward, with a staffer saying the stream would be “down for quite some time” in hopes of cracking down on vulgar acts.

“It’s very unfortunat­e that people are not acting in the best way,” the staff member said.

The street exhibit has attracted a certain amount of chaos since its inception last Wednesday — with troublemak­ers in Ireland to blame for most of the shocking conduct, including flashing swastikas and a photo of the burning Twin Towers on Sept. 11.

A ‘bridge’ too far

Project organizers boasted it as a “bridge to a united planet” that allows passersby to see each other on the 8-foot-by-8-foot video screen but not hear each other.

In the wake of Sunday’s story in The Post on Irish troublemak­ers, the Dublin City Council said Monday it was working to address the stream of incivility.

Organizers blamed the shutdown on a temporary software problem. It’s unclear whether the glitch happened as result of Louise’s flashing.

“Our teams . . . are doing their best to ensure smooth and consistent operations in order to come as close as possible to a 24/7 active livestream,” a statement in the Irish Independen­t read.

While Dublin officials said most of the interactio­ns have been positive, “a very small minority” have displayed raunchy acts.

“While we cannot control all of these actions, we are implementi­ng some technical solutions to address this and these will go live in the next 24 hours,” the council said. “We will continue to monitor the situation . . . to ensure that portals continue to deliver a positive experience for both cities and the world.”
