River Liffey - Dublin City Ireland - Things to Do in Ireland
Dublin; have you ever been to Dublin before? Are you willing to go for a trip to Ireland? Going to a new place means a plan for the places to visit there that should be done. When it comes to Dublin, Ireland, there are different places to go to and lots of attractions to pass by.
River Liffey in Dublin is an important river in Ireland because it flows through the centre of Dublin, not just that, but this river supplies much of Dublin's water and a range of recreational activities. The major tributaries of River Liffey include the River Dodder, the River Poddle, and River Camac.
This river in Dublin, Ireland, acts as an important part of the city because it acts as a visible divide between Dublin's north and south sides and it is also considered a perfect accompaniment for a scenic stroll.
Liffey in the Irish dictionary means A Life and that is exactly the name given to this important river. This was not the first name given to this river, but it was previously known as An Ruirthech which means fast or strong runner. Generally speaking, the name Liphe which means life that was used to refer to the river was actually taken from the plain that the river ran. In addition to that, the river was also known as Anna Liffey which is possibly from an anglicisation of Abhainn na Life, the Irish phrase that translates into English as River Liffey.
In addition to being one of the landmarks of Dublin city and one place that could offer people a good walk along it, River Liffey is also where some activities are taking place and which include rafting, fishing, and swimming - so if the weather is good, you could choose the right place and do any of these activities if you are into any of them in the first place.
There is a number of bridges that stretch across the river and which include those that are built for pedestrians to walk over and pass the river through, as well as those which are built for the vehicular traffic. The three pedestrian bridges are known as The Millennium Bridge, The Sean O'Casey Bridge, and the Ha'penny Bridge.
The newest bridge that is found on River Liffey is the one which opened back in 2009 by Samuel Calatrava Valls and which was referred to as Samuel Beckett Bridge; Samuel Calatrava was also the one to design the James Joyce Bridge that spans the Liffey - since James Joyce used to refer to River Liffey in some of his writings.
It is not much about the history of the river or even of those bridges which are crossing it over, but it is more about the different things that one could enjoy doing from activities or just from walking by the river and enjoying the Irish culture, buildings, and getting introduced to Dublin city - it is all a different experience for those people coming over from other countries around the world, but those Irish people, we are sure have already been to River Liffey millions of times before.
Being the capital of Ireland and also the biggest city to be found in it, it is important to mention that there are lots of different places that one could visit in Dublin and different attractions that people and tourists could pass by; placing River Liffey on the list might be one thing, but you still have other suggestions to keep following.
In Dublin, you could also go and check O'Connell Street which is for sightseeing as well as shopping and nights out ( there is also the sightseeing tours which you could enjoy by the hop-on hop-off buses that will take you through the city and its important streets and attractions ( since you are already checking the River Liffey then you could also go to the Four Courts which is located along the river ( there is St. Stephen's Green Dublin Park which has been there since 1880 - so it is both about green areas as well as historical places ( you could also go and check the Dublinia Viking Museum ( the Merrion Square ( the Mansion House ( Leinster House ( check the Christ Church Cathedral that carries lots of historical antiques and carvings inside ( as well as lots and lots of different other places that might never end until your stay in Dublin reaches its last day.
Make your plan, get the chance to visit River Liffey and have a walk by it, and get the chance to visit different places across Dublin city that will get you introduced to the history of the place and at the same time will give you a new experience which you have never gone through before.

Dublin, Ireland. History, Population, Best Time To Visit
Dublin is the capital and largest city of Ireland. Its vibrancy, nightlife and tourist attractions are renowned and it is the most popular entry point for international visitors to Ireland.
LOCATION
Dublin is on the east coast of Ireland, in the province of Leinster, at the mouth of the River Liffey, The River Liffey divides the city in two, between the Northside and the Southside. and is bordered on the south by the Wicklow Mountains.
HISTORY
There is archaeological debate regarding precisely where Dublin was established by the Gaels in or before the 7th century AD. Later expanded as a Viking settlement, the Kingdom of Dublin, the city became Ireland's principal settlement following the Norman invasion. The city expanded rapidly from the 17th century and was briefly the second largest city in the British Empire before the Acts of Union in 1800. Following the partition of Ireland in 1922, Dublin became the capital of the Irish Free State, later renamed Ireland.
POPULATION
After World War Two, Italians were by far the largest immigrant group in both Dublin and Ireland. Dublin has experienced a significant level of net immigration, with the greatest numbers coming from the European Union, especially the United Kingdom, Poland and Lithuania. In terms of religion, 68.2% identified as Catholic.
BEST TIME
The best time to visit Dublin is June through August when temperatures are warm and festivals fill the streets. This also constitutes the most expensive time to visit, with high hotel rates and airfare prices. It's also the most crowded time of year. For good weather, manageable crowds, and lower prices, visit in April, May, or mid-September through mid-October.
CLIMATE
Similar to much of the rest of northwestern Europe, Dublin experiences a maritime climate with cool summers, mild winters, and a lack of temperature extremes. the sunniest months are May and June, while the wettest month is October, and the driest month is February. Winters in Dublin are relatively mild. daytime temperatures generally hover around the 5°C, but frost is common during the period November through to February when night time temperatures dip below 0°C. Summers in Dublin are also mild. The average maximum temperature is 20°C in July.
ECONOMY
The Dublin region is the economic centre of Ireland. Dublin was listed as the fourth richest city in the world by purchasing power and 10th richest by personal income. Companies such as Microsoft, Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Yahoo!, Facebook, Twitter, Accenture and Pfizer now have European headquarters and/or operational bases in the city.

How to film in HD underwater on the bottom of river Liffey, Ireland.
Dear Friends, thank you for visiting my channel and for watching this video. All my underwater films and videos were recorded entirely on location in Ireland while free-diving and snorkelling. I'm working entirely alone investing my own money and time which as you can understand limits me very much. Last year I practically had to stop filming and developing my 'Underwater Ireland' project because I had financial difficulties and couldn't afford to spend money or time anymore. To raise some funds for my project development I inserted a PayPal 'Donate' button on my website
--
You do not need to be rich and you do not need to have a PayPal account -- all that you need is a desire to help this very unique project to survive and to develop and you need to have a debit or credit card (all transactions are absolutely secure because they go through PayPal). I appreciate ANY! help and even one euro/dollar/pound/etc. can make a real difference. If you provide your name and postal address to contact [at] underwater-ireland.com after the donation I will be happy to send you a small present (my postcards, my DVD or a large photo-print, size up to 30x40cm depending on the amount of the donation). If you can't donate anything -- you can still help by sharing this information and the link to my video channel
-
and to my website
-
Don't forget to come back later -- I hope I'll find an opportunity to show you even more exciting episodes about the underwater world of Ireland.
Faithfully yours

Europe 2019 (Pt. 59) - Temple Bar, Dame Lane, and the River Liffey - Dublin, Ireland
August 10, 2019 - One of the best things about Dublin for a tourist is that everything in town is so very walkable! From Dame Lane to Temple Bar to the River Liffey and the Ha'Penny Bridge, I swear it was less than 10 minutes to get to all of these places!
Dame Lane is a very patriotic street (alleyway?) here in Dublin, and Temple Bar is always packed, as I soon found out - and it's only 3pm on a Saturday afternoon!
It's a happening place, though, and even that swan on the Liffey is commuting upstream to get into town!

Climate change, heavy flooding in River Liffey, Dublin Ireland's capital. 3rd January 2014
This is a short video captured noon today on the Chapelizod bus passing the the National Museum of Ireland. The left lane is flooded from the storm. See how high the water from the River Liffey is compared to the cars on the road.
The level of the water rose very high from the heavy rainfall that fell throughout the night.
Damage to bridge infrastructure such as Dublin’s O’Connell Bridge and the Malahide viaduct was attributed to the consequences of rising tides. The National Conservation and Heritage Group highlighted the presence of stress cracks and the damage to pillars and a parapet on the bridge. After the repair work was completed, the damage was said to be the result of rising tides on the River Liffey caused by climate change.
As almost 60% of the population of Ireland live along the coast, the anticipated increase in frequency and intensity of storms is likely to have a huge impact on infrastructure in coastal regions. For example, the coast of Killiney Bay, south of Dublin, consists of soft sediment that may eventually lead to the need for investment in sea defenses for the east coast railway, which runs along it.
