Ireland’s tallest tower has reopened to the public here after 47 years following a bomb attack whose perpetrator has not been officially identified until now. Hundreds of tourists, both local and foreign, were seen coming in from different corners of the city to visit the O’Connell Tower on Saturday, reports Xinhua news agency.

Located in north Dublin, the tower was built in 1855 in the memory of Daniel O’Connell, one of the greatest political figures in the first half of the 19th century in Ireland.
