    Since the Sunday Times article has gone into its paid archive, can anyone remember what the actual height of the chimney is? I assume the 220 feet is an AOD height to the top of the lift shaft from the planning application, or just plain wrong.

    The online versions of the relevant planning applications (1799/95 and 2616/97) are not very helpful.

    I was up it about a year and a half ago. there is a great view from it, but it is not too much better than the view from the Sky Bar (or what ever the bar in the Guinness Storehouse is called) which is free as far as I remember. I cannot recall how much the Jameson Tower was, but I do remember thinking how easy it would have been not to pay for it at all!!;)

    I agree, and no sign of the pace of redevelopment slackening.

    Terry Devey has just submitted plans to demolish the pent house of Chief O’Neills on Smithfiled and replace it with three more floors of hotel rooms. Does anyone know any more or have any images, I like the idea of the parapet height in Smithfield becoming a little more even.

    I also remember hearing once that Irish Distillers had plans to build in their front car park, is there a hidden gem there to look forward to?

    Wow, thanks a million for that, I especially like the way the Gas towers act as a foil to the buildings. Nice cladding as well. I like the way it drops down to the north and doesn’t tower over the existing buildings.

    Yeah, they are great pics. Does anyone know what the plans are for the north end of the square though? Also there seems to be masses of apartment accomodation, what else is planned to balance it all out?
