A special ceremony was held today to mark the completion of the refurbishment of O'Connell Street in Dublin.
Work on modernising the capital's main street has been ongoing since the Spire was erected four years ago.
The project, which has seen thousands of cars taken off O'Connell Street, involved the cleaning of monuments and the widening of footpaths.
At least 142 new trees were planted to replace those that were removed to facilitate the works.
