Gardens Fall Into River
Gardens Fall Into River
30 Nov 1985Dublins underground river, the Poddle, has reclaimed two more gardens, just a day after the first garden caved in, on the Lower Kimmage Road.
Yesterday a gaping hole opened up in the garden of Mrs. Maureen Cooke, in number 9, as much of her garden fell into the river underneath. Her neighbours had been complaining to Dublin Corporation about footpaths which had been subsiding, but no action was taken, they said.
Then two of their gardens fell in, at numbers 11 and 13, with parts of their garden walls and front railings goimg down too.
Corporation workmen were rushed to the scene, and they were advising other householders in the area to remove parked cars from their driveways, in case of further subsisdence.
