Concerns are being expressed about the future of Dublin's O'Connell Bridge.
An independent expert has been called in to examine the landmark over fears it is falling apart because of global warming.
Dublin City Council insists the bridge is structurally sound after routine repairs last week.
The National Conservation and Heritage Group believe higher tides caused by climate change are eroding the bridge's structure and may have dangerously weakened its foundations.
