This is the moment a lorry driver appeared to stop his truck under a bridge to help persuade a distressed woman to come down safely.
On Friday the woman was seen on the bridge over the busy N7 road on the outskirks of Dublin in , with some motorists fearing she was 'going to jump.'
But a photograph taken at the scene showed that a lorry driver appear to stop his truck under the bridge to try and stop her from jumping.
The incident happened at a bridge near Junction 3 of the N7, several miles south of Dublin.
Keith Dunne, who was man who took the photo, said to the Irish Mirror : "She was going to jump at Naas today but an Artic lorry stooped under her.
The driver was praised by the public for his quick-thinking gesture.
One person said: "What a fast thinking and very courageous lorry driver. Well done mate.
"Respect and prayers go out to you. You saved somebody's poor mum, sister, lover, wife, nan or aunty."
A second added: "Very sad times when you contemplate ending your life like this, let’s hope she can get help.
"Also well done to the truck driver who probably saved her life."
A third added: "Well done to the driver, he has saved a life today. Hats off to him."
