    I was looking at houses to buy this one: 19 Mount Green, Golf Links Road, Castletroy, Co. Limerick (http://www.property.ie/property-for-sale/19-Mount-Green-Golf-Links-Road-Castletroy-Co-Limerick/597796/) and on Google earth there are two round things and tower behind this house?

    What is putting me off is it looks like a water treatment plant, or sewerage works. there is a near a house i used to live in as a student 4 years a go 3 miles a away and on a bad day the smell is intolerable.

    can any one tell me what it is?

    Note: the pics are No. 11 and 12

    I'd guess its the water treatment plant.

    A quick search shows this: http://wikimapia.org/548320/Castletroy-Water-Tower

    What's the building at the back of the Corcanree Industrial Estate on the Dock road? Its the circular building as seen from wikimapia.

    Fair point well made, but I had to laugh at a TV aerial and sateillte installer complaining that mobile phone masts are eyesores:D.

    Lol well I hate the sight of anything that is unsightly including badly installed aerials and satellite dishes, but the reason I was complaining about the amount of phone masts was I used to love standing underneath and looking up, the building reminded me scenes of something out of "V" the old sci fi series ...
