Liberty Hall (Irish: Halla na Saoirse), in
Dublin, is the headquarters of the Services, Industrial, Professional, and Technical Union (SIPTU). It was formerly the tallest storeyed building in
Ireland at 59.4 m, and is currently the second tallest in
Dublin after the
Millennium Tower in Grand Canal Dock. It is more historically significant in its earlier form, as the headquarters of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union early in the 20th century, and as that of the Irish Citizen Army (ICA). Believe it or not, this building mainly made of windows used to be an hotel at the begining.
Today,
Liberty Hall is meant to be redesigned, with plans to demolish the current building in 2009. The successor is planned to be complete within 18 months of this. Personnally, I'm not against this decision, because though this building is among the highest of
Dublin, its design is quite kitch, and to be honest, not that beautiful...
