Residents in Tallaght are urgently calling for the Charles O’Toole footbridge over the N81 to be closed down and demolished due to safety fears.
David Larkin, who lives near the bridge which links St Dominic’s with Tallaght village, told Dublin Live that he is "very concerned" as people can currently climb over and walk along the outside of the bridge at the St Dominic’s end of the structure.
He said: "I live a couple of kilometres away from the bridge but it's unbelievable that even a judge has called for it to be demolished. And then a young man in 2021 walked up along the side of the bridge and fell off down onto the N81 and he was seriously injured."
