A bomb shelter has been uncovered in a garden in Cork city.
It was unearthed by landscapers during work on Jean Walsh's garden.
Ms Walsh said her house was built around 100 years ago and she believes the shelter was also built at that time.

The shelter is around 3.5m underground.
She said it is a "solid structure" with two rooms and it must have taken some time to build.
The house and shelter were built by husband and wife Charlie and Mary Archer in the 1920s.
Mary Archer was originally from Britain and her father was the Lord Mayor of London.
The couple did not have any children and a family member sold the home to Ms Walsh and her husband.
Ms Walsh said that she plans on filling in the entrance because she does not know what to do with the structure.
Speaking to the same programme, her landscape gardener Aidan Caroll said the shelter has "good drainage" and "workmanship" for the time it was built.
He said that Ms Walsh explained that she had an idea where it was when the work started but was not completely sure.
Mr Carroll suggested putting a time capsule in the shelter before they carry on with the rest of the garden work.
