Dodder Action

Dodder Action The Dodder and its tributaries are a fabulous natural amenity in Dublin that has sadly been abused and neglected for far too long.

Action group set up to clean the Dodder and its tributaries, improve facilities and amenities along its length and fulfil the potential of this fabulous natural resource. In 2010 members of the Irish Green Party and local residents organised clean ups of the river on approximately 12 weekends from the Firhouse Weir to Clonskeagh. Following on from this, members of the Green Party with the help of

a group of local people decided to organise cleanups along the river which was badly damaged in the devastating floods of October 2011. The short term goal of the group is to remove litter from the river and its surroundings, medium term to increase basic facilities such as increasing the amount of litter bins and benches along the route and long term to exploit its potential as a recreational area and find a solution to the dumping of rubbish in the river.
