Iain Maclean and the Liffey - 26 May 2006

Way back in November of 2005 I contacted Iain Mclean asking if he would help me in the task of putting together a history of the Liffey Descent. We exchanged several emails and to my delight attached to one was a brilliant article chronicling Ian and "the Liffey".

To my shame I have not pursued the task with the enthusiasm of Iain. However after re-read Iain's letter I felt I had to share it with you all and hopefully it may encourage some others to get involved.

If any of you feel you can assist please contact me using the contact page on this site.
