This Day in Local History

Did you know? · Dublin suburbs

Local fact
Wicklow fact 294: Bray sits inside the Wicklow County Council orbit; coastal towns and the Wicklow uplands connect to the wider belt by routes such as the M11. 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.
