    Do you think buildings will get taller in Dublin in the next 5 years?

    No buildings tend to stay the same size but we might build newer taller ones

    they've been getting taller for the last 20 years, no reason to think that won't continue.

    When stopped at traffic lights after emerging from the tunnel, i counted 18 cranes across Spencer Dock.
    Thats where that giant tower is going to be so Dublin is beginning to build higher buildings.

    I'd rather see us go skywards than continue with the sprawl.

    If you're talking about the U2 tower, it's on other side of the river. If you're talking about the watchtower it's past the point.

    Building up is only solution and will happen

    It's already started. On Cork St for example there is a 18 (maybe be wrong) apartment block and there was plans to bulid a 27(:eek:) on the site of the old John Player factory on the South Circular Road.

    Thats good, cause I was in NYC for the last week, and when I was in the taxi on the way home yesterday it was depressing. What the hell is Liberty Hall meant to be?
