Dublin City Council has warned that the two structures may need to be encased in fibreglass or concrete to ensure their stability.The council said the maintenance by the ESB runs to several million euro and this will only secure the chimneys in the medium term.
The twin structures, which were built in the 1970s, have not been in use for more than 10 years but the industrial landmark has become a striking feature of the Dublin skyline. "It's going to cost money to knock them down anyway. So if we love our chimneys we have to preserve them." "They seem to follow you everywhere you go, they're looking at you all the time as you as you go across Dublin."
Has anyone outside Dublin ever cared about those ugly chimneys? 🤷♀️ Can we put their preservation to a vote? 🙄
