The Liffey
By Seán
The River Liffey rises in
the Liffey head bog in the
Wicklow Mountains.
It flows for 132km
through mountains
Wicklow, Kildare and
Dublin.
The Liffey enters the sea
at its mouth in Dublin
Bay.
The Liffey system includes dozens of smaller
rivers and streams. It's major tributaries include
the Kings river, River Dodder, the River Poddle
and the River Camac. The Liffey does not have
any natural lakes and has only a few islands.
There are a few areas with
rapids, mostly as the river
comes close to Dublin city
Towns along the River Liffey include
Ballymore, Eustace, Newbridge and Lucan
before the river reaches the city of Dublin
As it approaches its mouth in Dublin bay.
About 60% of the Liffey
water is abstracted for
drinking water and to
supply industry.
It is the River Liffey that
divides Dublin between north
Dublin and south Dublin.
There are 58 bridges over the Liffey
probably the most famous ones are the
Ha'penny Bridge and the O Connell
Bridge.
The River Liffey has been used by people to
generate electricity by having three hydro-
electric power stations by establishing
dams. Poulaphouca has a large resevoir.
In the past, the Liffey was used by
cargo ships to escort Guinness
from the brewery at St James'
Gate.
The only traffic on the river
nowadays is a boat giving
tours through Dublin.
The river now holds many rowing
races. A famous canoe race called
the Liffey Decent has taken place
every year since 1960 from Stratton
in Kildare to Islandbridge in Dublin.
A swim race called the Liffey
Swim takes place every year in
August or September in Dublin.
This is the River Liffey
