This Day in Local History
Did you know? · Dublin suburbs
Local fact
Fingal fact 229: Malahide sits inside the Fingal County Council orbit; north Dublin coastal and airport-side communities connect to the wider belt by routes such as the M1. It is one reason the What’s On section now refuses undated or stale listings.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
