I have just got back to Dublin for a weekend and went i got there i was amaized to find this 120 meter spike in the middle of a busy city centre street.
The glow from the light on top of the spike is something else, but was told the lights cost some silly price. I do like the spike, it gives Dublin an bit of a mad side, just a little different than what you would expect.
The one thing i did find was that, no mater how drunk you are, you cant get lost when you can see the spike!
Overall a very different monument that gives Dublin a bit of a mad edge. I do like it but i do think that Ireland should sort out its problems before spending millions of Euros on a bit metal spike.
But its there now and if its there then, i like it, and its worth going to Dublin just to see this strange, but nice spike.

I think they should have a leprechaun hanging off it and laughing out loud at every hour. Now, that would be a silly but worthwhile sight.

Same as below... if you change it at all, let me know and I'll re-rate :)

Hi welcome to ciao. Sorry for the low rate, but I suppose being 120m it is obvious, but where exactly is it, is there any expanation about it, like why? If you do add to this op, then please let me know, i'll happily re-read/rate it for you. Larry
