Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2003 / June 18 2003: Fears of children playing may lead to bridge alteration

Fears have emerged that Dublin's newest bridge across the Liffey may be extremely dangerous for children tempted to play on it. Dublin City Council said last night that, if necessary, it will amend the design of the new James Joyce Bridge after people expressed anxiety about children climbing on it. The council says it is monitoring the activities of children climbing and sliding on the bridge. The €8.4 million bridge was opened on Monday by the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Mr Dermot Lacey.
