The internal stairs of the O’Connell Tower in Glasnevin Cemetery were completely destroyed by a bomb in 1971. Glasnevin Trust is currently undertaking a project to reinstate stair access to the top of the tower based on the original designs. I understand that the works are expected to be completed by Q3, 2017 with the Glasnevin Trust then opening the facility thereafter for public access, in small escorted groups.
