Agreed, best to get it right rather than make a bags of it, we’ve wated 4 years a few days more wont be the end of the world.
“If a thing is worth doing its worth doing right” – I’ve always believed in this motto
Stiffy by the Liffey??? That’s just filthy…
Although perhaps that “pole in the hole” one was filthy as well…
Can’t we just go with the common or garden “spike” for now?? It’s less pretentious that the “spire”, and yet slightly respectful of what shall be the big shiney one.
And if we don’t take it seriously, who will???
fjp
I look forward to when they add the Giant Olive to it, before dropping the whole thing into the world’s largest Martini! ;->
Respectful name for the Spike?
I think after three years of a delay, news that they’re making a hames of putting celtic stripes onto it in Waterford, and watching the country’s biggest crane languishing in what threatens to become a permanent building site on our main street, we’re entitled to take it less than seriously.
And ‘pole in the hole’ wasn’t meant to be rude. Honest.Perhaps take the actual Spike seriously, but rectally purify any politicians responsible for delays with 120 metres of stainless pain…
Hurray – it’s filth day!!!
Only eleven more days to get your Christmas shot-peening done.
(I’m really, really sorry I said that)
This just gets better and better….

at this rate, we’ll have the twin towers reconstructed before you manage to get your spike up.
(i suppose this old town needs some viagra).
anyone know where design info for the spire such as wind loads may be available. need it 4 a project im doing at the moment.
Will tomorrow see the first section in place!!
No sign of it this morning…
Delays in packing it up meant it’s only got as far as Portlaois. First section (of 6?) should be here tomorrow morning.News this morning quoted city council as saying it would go up ‘early in the New Year’.
Crane seems to be fully extended, but not visible from street level at Dorset Street…
