Liberty Hall Rooftop Live Cam

History

Liberty Hall, located in the heart of Dublin City Centre, is a landmark that has stood as a symbol of Ireland’s social and political transformation. The building, completed in 1965, was constructed on the site of the original Liberty Hall, which served as the headquarters of the Irish Transport and General Workers’ Union (ITGWU). This earlier structure was destroyed during the 1916 Easter Rising, a pivotal moment in Ireland's fight for independence.

When the current Liberty Hall was built, it represented a bold architectural statement in Dublin. Designed by architect Desmond Rea O’Kelly, it stood as Ireland's tallest building for many years, with its modernist design reflecting the optimism of a new era. The building’s 16 floors include office spaces primarily used by trade unions, and the rooftop offers panoramic views of Dublin City Centre, making it a unique and historic vantage point.
