The former Lord Mayor of Dublin, Ben Briscoe, has died aged 89.
The Fianna Fail politician held the office of Lord Mayor from 1988 to 1989 like his father, Robert, who was the Lord Mayor from 1961 to 1962 and 1956 to 1957. The duo was the only father and son to occupy office.
Mr Briscoe's career as a TD spanned 37 years, starting in 1965 where he went on to hold the post until 2002. He was first elected to the Dail in the Dublin South-West constituency at the 1965 general election.
