Ray Kennedy tweetz:
“Water breaches the Clontarf prom near the Wooden Bridge, road unaffected at moment.”
Everything was the same colour back then.
RTÉ Archives tweetz:
“Boy canoes through floods in Ballsbridge, Dublin in 1986. But who is he?”

Summer in Dundrum, Co Dublin, 50 60 years ago.
Included flash floods in June, 1953 shot by Helen Carroll’s uncle.
Historical Dundrum writes:
“A fab piece of cine footage of the flash floods in Dundrum village in June 1963. Clear shots at Taney Crossraods which show the now dismantled bridge and the road leading up through Dundrum village. Also a great clear shot looking down towards Rosemount.”
