===Tributaries=== The Liffey system includes dozens of smaller rivers and more than 100 named streams. Early tributaries include the Athdown Brook, Shankill River, Ballylow Brook, Brittas River and Woodend Brook. The substantial King's River, which formerly joined the Liffey near Blessington, and may in fact have held the larger flow, now merges in within Poulaphouca Reservoir.<ref>{{cite book| title = The Rivers and Streams of the Dublin Region | date = 2018 | isbn = 9780956636386 | pages = 33β35}}</ref> Downstream of Poulaphouca are the Lemonstown Stream, Kilcullen Stream and Pinkeen Stream, followed by the [[Painestown River]] (with tributaries including the [[Morell River]]), the Rye Water (with tributaries including the Lyreen) at [[Leixlip]], and the Griffeen River and Silleachain Stream in [[Lucan]].<ref>{{cite book| title = The Rivers and Streams of the Dublin Region | date = 2018 | isbn = 9780956636386 | pages = 35β42}}</ref> Within Dublin are the various [[Phoenix Park]] streams on the left bank, interspersed with right bank tributaries such as the Glenaulin Stream and [[Irish National War Memorial Gardens#Creosote stream|Creosote Stream]].<ref>{{cite web| url = http://www.fishinginireland.info/trout/east/dublin/liffey.htm| title = River Liffey| access-date = 25 January 2013| publisher = fishinginireland.info| archive-date = 19 July 2019| archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20190719060058/http://fishinginireland.info/trout/east/dublin/liffey.htm| url-status = live}}</ref><ref>{{cite book| title = The Rivers and Streams of the Dublin Region | date = 2018 | isbn = 9780956636386 | pages = 44β46}}</ref> Within the quays area tributaries include the [[River Camac]], possibly Colman's Brook, the [[Bradogue River]], [[River Poddle]], [[Stein River (Dublin)|Stein River]] and the [[River Dodder]], some of which have numerous tributaries of their own.<ref>{{cite book| title = The Rivers and Streams of the Dublin Region | date = 2018 | isbn = 9780956636386 | pages = 48β57}}</ref> In earlier times, the [[River Tolka]] was also arguably a tributary of the Liffey or at least shared its mouth, but it now enters [[Dublin Bay]] distinctly, some distance to the north.<ref>{{cite book| title = The Rivers and Streams of the Dublin Region | date = 2018 | isbn = 9780956636386 | pages = 25, 31}}</ref>
