Some beautiful footage to the famous Dublin landmark here…

We were very sad to hear last month that the ESB were thinking of demolishing the famous Poolbeg chimneys. They are one of the real landmarks in Dublin and if you haven’t seen them in person, they’re on the opening credits of Fair City, not that we watch Fair City… *JOE laughs awkwardly*

They are a very unique site on the landscape of the capital but thanks to Sky Pixels Ireland, we have been given a completely different view of the chimneys.

The people working there sent up a camera on a drone and recorded some amazing footage, they fly into one of the chimneys and pan around to give us a great view of the surrounding area, it’s beautiful…
