Flooding from the Tolka at Drumcondra, Dublin, in April 2005.

The River Tolka (Irish: Tulcha) is a river which flows through Dublin, Ireland. It rises near Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath, bypassing Dunboyne, Mulhuddart, Blanchardstown, Finglas, then through the north Dublin districts of Glasnevin, Drumcondra (beside Tolka Park) and Ballybough, before entering Dublin Bay at East Wall.

In November 2000, flooding of the Tolka caused extensive damage to residential areas along its banks. Since then, much work has been done to strengthen its flood defences.
