Where in Ireland would you find Coleman’s Brook? The Gallow’s Stream?
While most Dubliners know of the Poddle or the Camac some of the other waterways that course through Ireland’s capital and its environs flow with lesser fanfare.
The late Clair Sweeney who worked for the Corpo, who grew up on the banks of the Liffey, wrote the definitive and fascinating book on Dublin’s rivers, streams and tributaries back in 1991.
It is re-published with a new and substantially revised colour edition as a unique examination of the waterways of Ireland’s capital.
