The People's Build has been a part of the Galway International Arts Festival for the last number of years, with cardboard bridges crossing the Corrib River and cathedrals filling Eyre Square.

Speaking on Galway Talks, GIAF Artistic Director Paul Fahy says dry and calm conditions are needed to ensure the structure goes up properly.
