english gobshites who robbed our land, took our food and murdered any man brave enough to stand up to them, now they come over here for a weekend away looking for welcome!! they know where they can stick their queen!!
Hmmm, symbolism is all well and good but aesthetics is of equal or greater importance, especially when talking about the flagship monument in a city. This fails on the latter. you could also say it symbolises the virility and potency of dublin people and the patches on the base represent the syphillis that's ravaging the youth of Dublin!
This replaces nelsons pillar (a symbol of the old British Empire).
This new modern monument represents new Ireland standing tall, independent & proud.
It symbolises a new way of thinking in an area of Dublin that holds a dark past. Anyone who does not like the spire does not know what it means & anyone that opposes it is afraid of change.
Listen, we're ashamed of that horror! It's an overgrown lamp post is all!!! you should have seen the other ideas that were put forward, all of them were amazing compared to the "stilletto by the getto"... the "stiffy by the liffey" ... etc...
@asjam05 Yes but The Spire is the tallest sculpture in the world. :)

It was originally termed "The Spike", a pretty harsh name in comparison with the slender sound of "The Spire".

It's called the Monument of Light, actually.

I like the Spire. I did from the first time I saw the plans. Onwards and upwards, Ireland.
