The River Liffey rises in the Wicklow Mountains and flows for 132km through counties Wicklow, Kildare, and Dublin before entering the sea at Dublin Bay. It has several tributaries and divides Dublin between North and South, flowing through towns like Ballymore and Newbridge before reaching Dublin city. The Liffey is used for drinking water, power generation, and historically for transporting goods like Guinness, though now primarily supports recreation like rowing and swimming races.

Ballyronan marina, case study in waterways regeneration 2
Ballyronan Marina in Northern Ireland was originally built in 1972 but fell into disuse. In 1995, a community group called TABDA was formed to redevelop the marina and town in partnership with the local council using EU funds. The redeveloped marina now includes facilities like a community center, restaurant, office units, secured marina, boat yard, play areas, and spaces for sailing and canoe sports. The marina has been successful due to partnerships between community groups, local government, and private organizations, and amenities that provide security, events, environmental quality, recreation, and retail space.

Euclid Streams into Sewers
In five SlideShares, Restoring the Pulse of Nature in Euclid presents two goals for stormwater Integrated Planning in Euclid, Ohio: a) Revive the natural regulation of stormwater at relatively low cost and high community benefit. b) Reconnect fragmented natural habitat areas as a means to build local biodiversity and natural capital.
SS#1, Streams into Sewers, maps Euclid’s natural watercourses and shows how they were made into storm sewers. The sewer system eliminated all but small segments of the streams and put the remaining segments underground. In making streams into sewers, we diminished the land’s inherent ability to hold back storm flows. We thus lost the natural pulse that regulates stormwater.

Ireland & Dublin
Ireland is an island located northwest of Europe, surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean and Irish Sea. Politically, Ireland is divided into the Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland. The Republic of Ireland occupies most of the island, with its capital and largest city being Dublin, located on the River Liffey. Dublin contains many historic sites from castles and cathedrals to universities and parks. The Irish language and culture continue to influence life in Ireland today.
The Growth of Dublin
Dublin has historically expanded significantly throughout different time periods due to various economic and social factors. During Viking times in the 9th century, Dublin began as a small Viking settlement on the River Liffey that later grew as an important port under Norman rule. In the 18th century Georgian era, Dublin became very fashionable as wealthy landlords built large townhouses and trade industries like textiles and Guinness brewing thrived, further increasing the city's population. Rapid growth occurred in the 19th and 20th centuries as many suburbs developed while the inner city declined, and Dublin solidified its role as Ireland's main center for transportation, manufacturing, and administration.
places to visit in Ireland.pdf
The document provides a list and brief descriptions of top places to visit in Ireland, including:

With clear illustrations and easy-to-follow explanations, readers will gain a new outlook on the universe's fundamental nature.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in Education
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
