    I filmed the Spire being put up in 2003. This is some of what I took. It starts with a view of the top section, the previous week. In all, it's just over 5 minutes long.

    Good footage, still despise the thing though!
    Any idea how those lads got out of it when they put the top section on?

    They're still inside..


    Actually there's a ladder inside it that leads down underneath the street, they need to be able to get up to change the bulbs as well.

    I love the Spire... I just wish they could do a better job of keeping it clean... the segments always looked mismatched.

    Cool video.

    I love the spire. I think it's a real cool part of O'Connell Street.

    Thanks for the compliments everyone. I like the Spire myself.

    Here is something else for us Dubs:

    A goal for Dublin.

    There is more over on the GAA board, in my thread and one by Dapos.
