But the focus quickly changed to the Pigeon House Towers as a central point of focus of Dublin city and visible they are from so many points in the city.<br>The thermal station chimneys were completed in 1971 & are among the tallest structures in Ireland. Visible from most of Dublin city the towers act as a beacon of Dublin city, and welcome everybody to Dublin whether they arrive by sea or air. When you see them appear, you know you are home.\n<\/div><div class=\"bde-gallery-57-104 bde-gallery\">\n\n\n\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ee-gallery ee-gallery--isotope ee-gallery--masonry
