Very cool structure located in the heart of Dublin. Lots of history at this very location many years ago. Highly recommended to comme see this famous structure.

I think this is not a real attraction, it's a long spoke in the air, if they placed a large Irish flag onto it then it would be a sign of respect and dignity, we find such "oblesix" all over the world that have more meaning behind them. If you see a large needle pointing to the sky, look finger pointing ☝️ ,then congratulations you have experienced it.
