This Day in Local History

Did you know? · Dublin suburbs

Local fact
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown fact 225: Blackrock sits inside the Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council orbit; south Dublin coastal and foothill communities connect to the wider belt by routes such as the N11. It is one reason the What’s On section now refuses undated or stale listings.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
