Getting there.
More work this week on the flood defences at Clontarf.
Native Irish holly was planted which will eventually conceal the concrete blocks when viewed from the road. It's a good improvement.
A lot of work done by Barry Heneghan TD on this. Well done also Dublin City Council

Some great Newcomen Bridge, North Strand, historical images.
Built 1790. As was customary at the time, bridges were named after directors/major shareholders of the canal company, 1789 -1807. In this case, Sir William Newcomen, the company secretary

Flooding in Clontarf
RTE reporting on Storm Bram and the sea encroaching onto the Clontarf Promenade
Looks like only the tail end of the storm appeared to hit Dublin. Visited this area last evening - plenty of people out walking/running on the paths. Water gone although ground very soggy #FMLH
