This Day in Local History
Did you know? · Dublin suburbs
Local fact
South Dublin fact 242: Tallaght sits inside the South Dublin County Council orbit; west and south-west Dublin suburbs connect to the wider belt by routes such as the N7. It is part of the Good Morning Dublin Belt coverage map because its daily life is tied to Dublin jobs, schools, transport and services. This is the leap-year reserve entry for the local fact calendar.
Until tomorrow morning Have a lovely day.
