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.

This has been going for over an hour now. It looks like car waste liquids to me (coolant) but anyone know what it is, what damage it's doing to river, and who put it in there?

Dublin Castle TOUR | Walking in Dublin Ireland
Dublin Castle (Irish: Caisleán Bhaile Átha Cliath) is a major Irish government complex, conference centre, and tourist attraction. It is located off Dame Street in Dublin, Ireland.
Until 1922 it was the seat of the British government's administration in Ireland. Most of the current construction dates from the 18th century, though a castle has stood on the site since the days of King John, the first Lord of Ireland. The Castle served as the seat of English, then later British, government of Ireland under the Lordship of Ireland (1171–1541), the Kingdom of Ireland (1541–1800), and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (1800–1922).
After the signing of the Anglo-Irish Treaty in December 1921, the complex was ceremonially handed over to the newly formed Provisional Government led by Michael Collins.[1] It now hosts the inauguration of each President of Ireland and various State receptions.
The castle was built by the dark pool (Dubh Linn) which gave Dublin its name. This pool lies on the lower course of the River Poddle before its confluence with the River Liffey; when the castle was built, the Liffey was much wider, and the castle was effectively defended by both rivers. The Poddle today runs under the complex.

The name Dublin comes from the Gaelic dubh linn or “black pool” - where the Poddle stream met the River Liffey to form a deep pool at Dublin Castle. The city's modern name - Baile Áth Cliath – means the “town of the ford of the hurdles”. Ireland's four principal routeways converged at a crossing place made of hurdles of interwoven saplings straddling the low-tide Liffey.
The City of Dublin can trace its origin back more than 1,000 years, and for much of this time it has been Ireland's principal city and the cultural, educational and industrial centre of the island.
The earliest reference to Dublin is sometimes said to be found in the writings of Claudius Ptolemaeus (Ptolemy), the Egyptian-Greek astronomer and cartographer, around the year 140, who refers to a settlement called Eblana. This would seem to give Dublin a just claim to nearly two thousand years of antiquity, as the settlement must have existed a considerable time before Ptolemy became aware of it. Recently, however, doubt has been cast on the identification of Eblana with Dublin, and the similarity of the two names is now thought to be coincidental.

The Story of St. Patrick's Cathedral in Dublin Ireland.
Dublins St. Patricks Cathedral was founded in 1191 and is one of the oldest Christian sites in Ireland. The land where it stands was originally an island where two branches of the Poddle River came together. The Cathedral is 13th Century Old English Gothic. It was built on the site of an older stone church. The first Norman church on its site dated back to around 1190. And before that there was a small timber church there that predated the Norman Conquest a native Irish church.
The story goes that St. Patrick used water from a well nearby to baptize locals and convert them to Christianity back in the 400s. By the middle of the 1800s the building had became rather dilapidated. It was restored by Sir Benjamin Guinness of the Guinness brewery. Inside there is a stained glass window---a gift from the Guinness family. At the bottom of the window are the words, I was thirsty and ye gave me drink.--- Clearly a reference to the role of religion, but not a bad thought for the owner of the worlds most famous brewery.
