	Liffey at Chapelizod oil spill (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
		On Thursday, 16 August 2001 a crash on the N4 near Dublin resulted in the release of crude oil into the Liffey.
		Whilst the cleanup operation started immediately, most of it was downstream from Chapelizod: little attention has so far been paid to the ecological effect on Chapelizod, which is where the oil entered the river.
		Because of the nature of the equipment required, booms could only be placed downstream of Chapelizod at Islandbridge, some distance from where these pictures were taken, so the Liffey is in good order where it enters the city at the quays and beyond, which is of little comfort upstream.

		Our relationship with the river became even more remote, a situation not helped by the unsightly sheds built along the river's edge on what is known as the campshires.
