Experts say a dolphin spotted swimming in circles in the Liffey will find its own way back to sea.
The DSPCA says it's likely the stormy weather has confused the mammal, which is swimming in circles close to the Custom House and Sir John Rogerson's Quay.

Experts say "it is not uncommon" to see dolphins in the Liffey, explaining that rough weather may have stirred up metal and other debris sitting on the river bed.
It's believed this disturbed debris has interfered with the dolphin's sonar, causing confusion.
Gillian Bird from the DSPCA told 98FM News that "the dolphin is OK", and "should swim back out to sea soon".
The charity has asked anyone who spots the dolphin in the river not to try and help it.
