    I see this building on the way to work from the motorway. It looks like a prison of some kind but I have no idea. Do you have any idea what it is?

    Its the mint near the Sandyford industrial estate. It is heavily guarded for obvious reasons.

    One must also remember that the person that designed this building is the same criminal that destroyed Europe’s longest row of Georgian houses, designed the Central Bank and also the Civic offices over Wood Quay.

    surely the overriding consideration when designing a building like the mint is security, who gives a **** what it looks like as long as it's bombproof

    That's why Sandyford is known as the hole with the mint :)
