well all i know is that the rivers runs at the back of intel in Leixlip, and the rivers runs from Maynooth.

[Ritchie]

i reckon its down from the bridge in the village... i'd put up with all intels toxic waste, looks pretty sweet!!

[kmck]

It takes an awful lot of water to run, according to pete.

[Diarmaid]

a further question: what the hell does imirt-holla mean?

it's like some weird Gaeilge / Gangsta crossover... hmm... gaelsta...

[kill]

Nothing.

The irish for hole is 'poll' and not 'holla'

I would say that a closer translation of play-hole would be poll-súgradh

[Ritchie]

"gaelsta..."

...i like it!!!. someone who actually knows some irish should try putting it into that google-gan'sta page.

well that depends... súgradh refers to the aimless kind of playing with no rules or objective that a toddler might do. imirt is for games with a purpose and a way of playing, and I suppose if you were making sweet sweet music with the hole you could even call it a poll-seinm (or seint?)...

so the question becomes, is there any point to playboating or not?

Ritchie, that hole is at the back of my house. as kieran said it does take a lot of water to work, the sluice has to b pretty much washed out.

to get there- take the 1st Leixlip exit after lucan. when you get into the village, take a left at the lights. go up the hill and take the first right (its right before the church n school). and its at the  bridge at the botom of that hill

[Ritchie]

you mean the weir opposite the ozone.... sure its that one??

[Tr Ash]

Tremmet can see it from his back garden so call him up to see if its workin!!!

[Ritchie]

[Emmett Trin]

no its not that weir. its upstream from there.

[Tr Ash]

[Emmett Trin]
