I saw this talk about the Liffey on youtube and I thought that it was fantastic. If you live in Dublin, you should watch it too.
I love rivers in cities. In Brussels, they covered up the river in the 19th century. I really missed living in a city with a river. My husband always says that Dublin turns its back on the river and he’s right. I cross over the Liffey most days and I almost always pause to look up and down the river. And now I’m going to take a photograph every time.
When we were in Dublin last we walked along the Liffey – lovely on a sunny day, but as he says, terribly cut off by the traffic. I hope he succeeds
Well, I am not so sure he will but I really like his ideas.
If (when) I am the directly elected mayor of Dublin, I shall pedestrianise the quays on the northside of the liffey from Heuston down to the Customs House. This will create a large number of public spaces that get the sun and overlook water. The city centre will be transformed.
I would vote for you like a shot.
