This really is a story of bad planning again. While I quite like the buildings themselves, I think that maybe they should be down by the proposed Spencer Dock development sight. I also think that the Ulster Bank itself is out of place.

On a more genral comment about Dublin city. I think that more effort should have been made down through the years to keep building heights similar throughout the city (say between 5 and 6 stories). This has been done in cities such as Munich and Paris with great results. They are much more pleasing to the eye that Dublin. Here, on the other hand we have only managed to do this in the very centre of the city. After this building height seems to be a free for all.

Sometimes I wonder why we have not succeeded in making Dublin into a truly nice city. I feel that now it is too late.
