We have contributions from Dr Sarah Bell, lecturer in health geography in the University of Exeter, Denise Cahill Cork Healthy Cities Co-coordinator, and Laura Ní Fhearghail, see links below. It also uses Sustainable Development Goal 15, Life on land, to show the importance of rivers, waterways, wetlands, and lifestyle choices you can make to help address our climate and biodiversity crisis.

    Conscious Lee is produced by students of Creativity and Change, a course in Munster Technical University’s Crawford College of Art & Design. Colette Mulholland, Ann Lambe, Flo Whitworth, and Richard Scrvien narrated, and the field recordings were made by artist Vicki Langan and Richard.

    2019-08-01 14.03.17-1-01This episode focuses on our connections with the river by experiencing it from on the surface or on the banks. Despite everything else going on around the city – the traffic, the rushing, the noises – the river itself passes, threading its own course. By being on or by the river we can feel affinities to it, a sense that links us with its calming presence.

    This episode looks at the crossings of the Lee with a focus on the bridges found in the city. The city’s expansion from its medieval core from the late 16th century involved initial building of bridges between the marshy islands before culverting over most of the channels. Then, as the urban are grew, crossings were required along the banks linking the central island with the south and north sides. As well as providing an overview of the topic, specific reference is made to South Gate Bridge, St Patrick’s Bridge, the Shaky Bridge, Brian Boru and Clontarf Bridges, and the Jack Lynch Tunnel.
