This was our parting view of Dublin this morning - O'Connell Street with roadworks and the giant spike called officially the Dublin Spire or The Monument of Light.
Inevitably it gets better names from the locals: Stiletto in the Ghetto, Rod to God and Lyn's favourite, Stiffy by the Liffey.
Dublin is very low rise. Its last great growth spurt was in the 18th century and the architecture has been declining ever since. Emigration is probably to blame I guess.
