The erection at the intersection, otherwise known as the Spire of Dublin, Millennium Needle and a couple other names. I have heard a couple stories of why it was built, but the one I go with is that there was a statue of an Englishman there (name escapes me at moment, but one you would, and I should, know) and the IRA blew it up. They put this millennium monument up. In true Irish fashion it was not completed until 2002.
