one thing that has hurt the area a bit lately is that the throughfare between the corporation buildings has been closed (since at least january) for some sort of construction. that path acted as a nice continuation of essex street and encouraged quite a bit of tourist footfall through the little park between dublinia and temple bar proper.

The report also explains why no historical tag has been attached.
“It is forward looking and aspirational, not retrospective and historic in intent.”There went my suggestion to stick with the old name, “The Millenium Spire”, as a remembrance of how long it took to get the darn thing up.
I like that little square.
It’s often my morning waiting space while I’m waiting for the AIB branch to open. It’s very peaceful, it draws people in to the City Hall museum in the basement, and into the Castle. I think it’s a nice space.

I heard that because of cutbacks, the red light is here to stay……..!!well, they need some way to mark dublin’s red light district. 😉
so, i’m aware of the light at the top, but am I correct in inferring that the spike will _not_ be flood-lit at night?
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).
In related news….
Underworld London (Documentary)
Starting: 09:30 on Saturday 14th December. Duration: 1 hour
Showing on RTE 1.Documentary which explores the subterranean chambers and tunnels beneath London, including the Post Office railway, bomb shelters and medieval burial chambers.
so, if I can see the crane from my balcony, does that mean I’ll likely be able to see the spike as well?
