The endemic diseases at the time - namely cholera, typhoid and enteric fever - were in fact mapped against the water courses leading into the River Liffey. There was a man who campaigned ferociously for the water courses to be piped. This eventually happened and much of the drainage installed has lasted until this day and age. Cheers Cara
