    Are the new lights on the Spire the finished permanent ones? They look awful. Between this and the new Grafton St. pavement DCC are really doing a s**t job.

    They were always meant to be permanent and they weren't even meant to need changing who knows what they have done now to get them going again!

    I like it.

    It doesn't have to be discernibly 'Irish' (whatever that even means) to be a striking landmark in its own right.

    I do think the DCC should have done a better job with repaving Grafton Street though. The colour seems a little anodyne (IMO of course) in comparison to the surrounding buildings compared to the darkness of the old cobble lock.
