    Hi
    I noticed today a large steady stream of bubble coming from the bottom of the liffey. If there was a gas mains under there I'd say it was a leak, but I doubt the gas line runs under it.

    Any one know what it could be?

    Could be a leaky water main.

    If Hollywood movies have taught me anything, expect a major natural disaster within the next 24 hours.

    Beginning of one of these perhaps?

    Vegetable material gets covered in mud, decomposes anaerobically and one of the by-products is methane.

    I was thinking that, but it was quite voluminous and sustained. Next time the tide is low I'll go back and see if its still bubbling.
