This Day in Local History
Did you know? · Dublin suburbs
Local fact
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown fact 267: Dun Laoghaire 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. Its council records matter for residents checking planning, roads, housing, community grants and local services. This is the leap-year reserve entry for the local fact calendar.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
