'Spike' approval likely before year end

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2000 / November 28 2000: 'Spike' approval likely before year end

The controversial "Monument of Light" proposed for Dublin's O'Connell Street is expected to be approved before Christmas. The decision will be taken by the Minister for the Environment. It was learned yesterday that Mr Dempsey's decision on the 120-metre stainless steel monument - commonly known as "The Spike" - will be subject to conditions, including a reduction in height to 100 metres (330 feet).
