Alan Whicker reports from Dublin, about Dubliners' ambivalent feelings towards one of the city's most famous - and incongruous - landmarks, Nelson's Pillar. What do people think should be done about this monument to a British hero, towering over the main thoroughfare of the capital of the Republic of Ireland?
He speaks with Noel Lemass - Fianna Fáil TD for Dublin South-West, Aldermann Frank Sherwin - Independent TD for Dublin North-Central, and Dublin City Councillor Joe Dowling, about the contentious statue.
