A friend of mine (no, really) swam across the Liffey when pissed one night. His phone wasn't working afterwards though, so he had to borrow a phone off a hobo to get in touch with his mates. Apparently it was a big mad camera phone and everything, the stinking rich hobo!

I'd say everyone in Dublin knows someone who tried to swim across the Liffey when drunk.

i certainly do remember could just pop my head over bridge one time and seen those huge fish.....

also to put to this anyone remember couple years ago part of the liffey wall was robbed up beside guinness's,some blokes came along and loaded some of the wall onto a truck,it weighted tons.....

I heard a rumour that those stones were then used to build a nice wall outside the house of one very well-known construction company boss
