The River Liffey - your stories

LiffeyCrew

Hi there,

We are looking for your contributions.

We need:
Your stories - whether you are a fisherman, canoeist, walker, or just live close by. How has the river played a part in your life?
Do you know any ghost stories or folklore related to the Liffey?
Poetry - have you written any poetry inspired by the Liffey?
Your photography - are you a keen photographer who works near the liffey? and would like to have some of your works posted to our website.

The 'time in the slime': remember the millenium clock... what did you think of it?

I am one of 5 students working on a "River Liffey" themed multimedia project.

our plan is to create a website to post stories to.
In the meantime you could post any stories you may have here.
or
email them to us at liffeycrew@hotmail.com

Looking forward to hearing from you.
-Gordon

Dont be at yourself

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.

There were a couple of summers in the mid-1980s when the Liffey in central Dublin was swarming with fish. You could stand on any bridge or quayside and watch these huge shoals of biggish fish swimming around. Anyone else remember this?

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
