Dublin firefighters got a call on Friday about an object in the River Liffey.
They received reports that a deer had been trapped in the capital's main waterway.
An image of the scene showed what appeared to be antlers protruding from the water.
Firefighters say they attended the scene - and identified a large branch in the water.
They say recent heavy rainfall means rivers are swollen, and it is better to be safe than sorry.
"Always call 999 if concerned", they add.
