i wasn’t talking about windsor house. that is 80 meters. the building i mentioned is only 60 meters in height. it is the divis tower for those who are unsure. the tallest building on the island is in belfast.

I would imagine that there are very few who will be surprised by this, given the more ‘open’ attitude that exists in the UK to buildings above 3 storeys in height.
i don’t have a clue what is happening with the obel proposal. if this is built it will be the tallest building on the island at 81 meters. i read it on the net about it’s height. it will be only slightly taller than windsor house but with several more floors. that will change though when heuston gate is built. i am looking forward to the view from hueston gate’s observation platform.
Where is this Summerhill mast Andrew? It always mentioned (obviously :)) as the tallest structure in the country – just where is it?!
So much for “I’m not going to add any more to this thread”. Some people never stick to their word. Pitty.
The subject person was removed.
It is sad that all you can do is make jibes at people who disagree with you naz78. I explained that the wording used previously was not personal – I don’t see what you find so unreasonable.
Can you both just stop. This is beginning to get tiresome. You are both as bad as each other.
i myself have never seen the atlantic 252 mast. does it still exist? having said that, i don’t be in that part of the city much.
I’ve heard of Dublin’s ridiculous sprawl, but really has Athlone been included within the citiy’s limits. (On a clear day………….
What?! Summerhill is nowhere near Athlone. It’s about 10 miles to the south of Trim, Co. Meath. And the mast is not near the village – it’s about 5 miles back towards Dublin (on the Dunboyne road).
…i thought you were all talking about summerhill in dublin city. it never crossed my mind that it was the one outside dublin.:)
Goes to show how retro I am. Now I realize that it’s not the Radio Eireann Athlone transmitter. Ah the days of Harry Thullier, Joe Linnane, and dancing on the pre-round the clock radio. Does anyone miss Brona Hollywood of the Bord Iascaigh Mhara sponsored programme?
santry cross seems to be coming along well. i was able to see it form the m50. at the moment it is grey. will it be changed to yellow at some stage or have they changed their minds about it’s colour? any proposals that i have seen of this building have been yellow. i like those red lights on top of it. they seem to be lit all day. i have also seen it in the distance from the maynooth train with the red lights very visible.
I find the light on top of One Georges Quay Plaza amusing. You’d swear it was massive. It is funny that they need such a light on such a such a building. It is only 13 storeys. I can’t see a plane flying so low.
didn’t they remove the aviation light from the spire? i don’t recall seeing it in a long time and that is way taller than georges quay plaza.

Yeah, that’s well gone. The several hundred LEDs at the top now act as an aviation beacon, as does that annoying strip of light half way up – it ruins the ‘linierness’ of the spire.
