      If the caption at the bottom of this picture is correct, it doesn’t say much for Ireland! 😮

      One could take another view that South Wales has little in the way of tall buildings and that the flight path touches West Cork and little else.

      An interesting recladding all the same.

      What height is the tallest building on the island of Ireland? Is the Europa in Belfast not pretty tall? (memories of IRA bombings in the bleak 80’s popping into my head now)

      Those towers are not buildings. The question asked about the tallest building.

      Well you learn something new every day. You prompted me to look up my dictionary (Collins) and the definition of “Building” (in this sense) is “something built with a roof and walls, such as a house or factory”. The Moneypoint towers have walls but no roof, so therefore are not “buildings”. I’d always thought a building was something “built”, so that would include towers like Moneypoint. Thanks Pepsi.

      All the above is off topic as if one draws a line between London and New York one does not pass over Ireland.
