Cork's only suspension bridge is named after James Daly who part financed its construction in the 1920s, it is better known as the Shaky (or Shakey) Bridge. Walk over it to see why! Renovations in 2020 caused consternation when it was rumoured that the repair work would remove the shake from the bridge.

Daly's Bridge, or The Shaky Bridge as it is also known, is a suspension bridge that spans the River Lee in Cork City. It was built in 1927 and has been an important connection route for the city's residents ever since. The bridge takes its name from the former owner, a man named James Daly, who was responsible for its construction.

The bridge is a popular destination for hikers in the city and offers beautiful views of the river and surrounding countryside. It also has important cultural significance for the people of Cork. The bridge has been renovated and restored many times over the years, but its characteristic "wobble" is still present, making it a unique experience for those crossing it.

The Daly's Bridge or The Shaky Bridge also has an important role in the history of the city. It was an important meeting place for the people of Cork and served as the backdrop for many events and ceremonies. The bridge is also a symbol of the togetherness of the people of the city and the pride they feel in their community.
