The Spire on Dublin’s O’Connell Street has been singled out as one of the “biggest eyesores” in Europe.
A list, compiled by Euronews, placed it at number five in their ranking.
So that was just after the controversial “Walkie-Talkie” building in London.
My view from work yesterday, out one side we have the “Walkie Talkie” building & the Shard..... And on the other side we have the “Tower of London.” pic.twitter.com/O7YfQtdp8c

The Spire Divides Opinion
Back in 2003 crowds cheered in O’Connell Street as the final point of the 121 metre spire was installed.
Three years behind schedule and costing €4 million, the monument divided opinion 18 years ago.
It still does today.
...And The Award Goes To:
The Tour Montparnesse in Paris was voted the biggest eyesore.
Here's a photo of it:
The Tour got three times more submissions than the next landmark.
