Spire cleaning squad to ward off vandals

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / January 19 2003: Spire cleaning squad to ward off vandals

Graffiti will be cleaned off the Spire of Dublin up to three times a day, according to the city council. Planners expect the monument, due to be completed this week, will be a target for vandalism as Dubliners try to autograph the world's largest sculpture. But a specialist company is to be employed to keep the base of the stainless-steel spire clean.
