Dublin City Council has put in place 24-hour security on-site at the derelict Iveagh Markets, as a petition launched to restore the building gains momentum.
In a statement on Friday, a spokesman for Dublin City Council said: "Following the decision by Lord Iveagh to withdraw security at the Iveagh Markets, Dublin City Council has today re-secured the building and organised 24 hour on-site security."
The well-known Markets, located on Francis Street, is a historic building that has been left abandoned since 1997.
