For years now, we've been chasing Irish Water to invest and fix this, but they haven't so far.
It's horrendous that every time there's heavy rainfall sewage overflows and runs into the Dodder and people's gardens.
The community knows what's going on. We need it fixed. It's not good enough.

Dodder Weir in Donnybrook flooding this morning. Also, I didn't spot it until I stopped recording, there is a heron coming in to land in the last few seconds of the videos. #birds #dodder #birdwatchireland #Heron
I can't clear signalised pedestrian crossings in #Dublin in the time allocated in #Ireland. We have had a spike in pedestrian fatalities in 2025, so road authorities need to review the green-man timing.
The new one on Donnybrook Rd. D4 at the #Dodder greenway junction is a typical example.
I've been spotted. Coal Tit on seed feeder.

Water rescue trained firefighters were called to a person in the River #Dodder this afternoon.
The person and family pet were taken from the water. With recent heavy rain our rivers are fast flowing, take care around water.

Close-up photo of parasitic dodder plant attacking a blooming sprig of indigo bush. The indigo bush has a green stem curled like a shepherd's crook and sports an array of small, deep purple flowers. The dodder is colored orange and looks like spaghetti or fishing line. The dodder splays chaotically across the scene and can be seen curling in tight spirals around the indigo bush stem. The photos background is blurry with soft focus, but it is easily perceived that the twining dodder is also spread through the background.
"It has long been known that dodders are “vampire-like” parasitic plants. Like a nightmare from an alien horror film, the dodder wraps itself around its host. It then uses a long probe to literally tap into its victim and drain their fluids." 1/3
