Iconic Shaky Bridge in need of some TLC

There have been calls for urgent action to improve the condition of Cork’s landmark Daly’s Bridge — known to generations as the Shaky Bridge.

The issue was raised by Cllr Joe O’Callaghan at Monday’s meeting of Cork City Council, who said he had concerns after seeing extensive corrosion on the bridge’s lattice work.

“It is an iconic structure. It’s our equivalent of the Ha’penny Bridge in Dublin and that bridge has a remarkable place in the hearts of Dubs,” he said.
