Second section of Dublin Spire placed in position

The second section of Dublin's new Spire has been lifted into its position at the site in O'Connell Street.

The second and third sections of the Spire were transported to the capital from Dungarvan early today.

The third section will be stored on the site until after Christmas.

Engineers plan to have all six sections in position by the middle of January.

The monument will then stretch 120 metres into the sky - seven times the height of the GPO.
