Ireland Architecture

Since this is an international group, does any one know of any cool contemporary ireland projects. I'm going to be in Ireland in July and couldn't find a whole lot of contemporary architecture info. Anyone have any good locales to suggest. Thanks.

TrentNo not really,
You might like to check out the Irish Architectural Gallery (http://www.riai.ie/gallery_expo.html?id=6255) admittedly nothing very exciting on there. I’ve been away for too long, so I don’t have my finger on the pulse of what’s really happening.

Here’s a little taste of what’s going on in the capitalThe reconstruction of Dublin city (http://www.reflectingcity.com/index.html?a=1) ~Top site for 360° views.~

Being a fairly religious country still, Modern church architecture is one to look out for. Perhaps we won’t have made Corbusier blush, but we could have taught him something about spirituality.

Thanks for the reply. My wife and I went to Ireland a few years ago. Didn't spend a lot of time looking at architecture. The only new thing I found was the spire on the north side of the Liffy. Thanks for the links. If I ever go back I will check it out.
