A county council said they are still trying to figure out why a bridge built to last a century failed after little more than twenty years and had to be quickly removed.
The Millennium Bridge in the historic castle town of Trim, Co Meath had to be shut this summer after an inspection found it was at immediate risk of collapse.
The footbridge over the River Boyne had only been opened in 2001 at a cost of €111,000 with tender documents specifying a structure intended to last for one hundred years.
