Dublin's newest bridge has been officially named this afternoon.

The Rosie Hackett Bridge between O’Connell Bridge and Matt Talbot Bridge won’t be opened to public transport until tomorrow but invited guests got to walk along it this afternoon.

Dublin City Engineer Michael Philips says he hopes the new bridge will help public transport here in the city:
