The secrets the River Poddle holds are key to understanding the basic foundations of the City of Dublin. This river of many names, which mostly flows underground, out of sight and often forgotten, has borne witness to all the key events of our shared history.

Not surprisingly, the river is celebrated in folklore and song.
