There's a call for urgent intervention to save the "leaning" tower of Kilmacduagh in Tierneevin in South Galway.
Local Senator PJ Murphy has raised the issue in the Seanad - saying a slight lean was documented in documents dating back over 250 years.
But he said local archaeologists and others have noted a rapid increase in the severity of the lean over the past 20 years.
Senator Murphy argues the OPW has to intervene and assess the situation.
