This Day in Local History

Did you know? · Dublin suburbs

Local fact
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown fact 309: Stillorgan 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 adds a different shape to the commuter belt: county-town, suburb, village, coast or upland rather than one single Dublin identity. This is the leap-year reserve entry for the local fact calendar.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
