**Apologies, registration full**
The river Poddle is key to understanding the foundations of Dublin. This river flowing mostly underground has borne witness to all the key events of our shared history.
It creates boundaries, illustrates how skilled our ancestors were at hydro-engineering, it protected our city from invasion and most importantly provided water for thirsty citizens.
Not surprisingly, the river is celebrated in folklore and song.
Join Dublin City Historian in Residence, Cathy Scuffil for a journey along this river as she highlights the elements of the river Poddle’s history that hide in plain sight.
