Montevetro in Dublin is good looking building but if it had been higher it would have looked a lot better, it could have carried the extra height very well while staying somewhat elegant.
The Boat in Belfast is let down terribly by the blank walls, although there's an application that'll address one side at least. The front though is rather attractive, again it would have looked very good with some additional height.
The Elysian is a nice building as well, has a good quality finish about it, just a shame its empty. Cork County Hall isn't too bad either.
On the boat I'm most agreed, probably because if it was like the front the whole way around it would be my favourite building on the whole Island. Really is a horrible shame that it's ruined by the blank walls.
I know, hopefully the application for an apartment building is approved and that'll cover the blank side facing the Albert Clock. The other side will unfortunately remain blank until the Laganside Bus Centre site is sold for development.
Without doubt the most corporatist looking building in Ireland is Montevetro. I remember saying before it was built that it would look as such. It's just a giant office slab.

For it's internal design alone it wins the poll hands down. Inside it must be one of the most unique and entertaining designed offices in Europe.
Although their neighbors will have something to say about that soon enough
