<P> Beginning with the American designed art deco church at Turner 's Cross in 1927 , Irish architecture followed the international trend towards modern and sleek building styles since the 20th century . Recent developments include the regeneration of Ballymun and an urban extension of Dublin at Adamstown . Since the establishment of the Dublin Docklands Development Authority in 1997 , the Dublin Docklands area underwent large - scale redevelopment , which included the construction of the Convention Centre Dublin and Grand Canal Theatre . Completed in 2008 , the Elysian tower in Cork is the tallest storeyed building in the Republic of Ireland ( the Obel Tower in Belfast , Northern Ireland being the tallest in Ireland ) , at a height of 71 metres ( 233 feet ) , surpassing Cork County Hall . The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland regulates the practice of architecture in the state . </P>
