The Spire of Dublin was designed by Ian Ritchie Architects, as part of a program to improve the neigborhood of O'Connell Street after IRA bombings destroyed the previous monument, Nelson's Pillar, in 1966. Rather than return to a traditional monument, the Spire was designed to bring a modern yet timeless theme to the area.
