In Pictures: Were you one of the 158 Paddys in Cork yesterday?

An army of Paddy’s packed onto Cork's landmark St Patrick's bridge to mark the completion of its €1.2m refurbishment.

Paddys, Pats, Patricias and even a few Patryks donned the patron saint’s costume and marched from the Metropole Hotel to the bridge for a special photoshoot to celebrate the laying of the last brick in what has been a painstaking refurbishment of the historic 19th-century heritage structure, opened 158-years ago.
