Summary
[edit]_(1659551593).jpg&action=edit§ion=1){kind=link}
| Description | Dun Laoghaire is a seaside town and a ferry port situated some 12 km south of Dublin city centre, and is the administrative centre of the county of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. The town had been officially renamed Kingstown in 1821 in honour of a visit by the British King George IV, but reverted to its ancient Irish name by resolution of the town council in 1921, one year before Irish independence. The name derives from its founder, Laoghaire, a 5th century High King of Ireland, who chose the site as a sea base from which to carry out raids on Britain and France. Dun is an Irish word meaning "fort". King Laoghaire is famous for having allowed Saint Patrick to travel the country and preach Christianity. Dun Laoghaire harbour is home to four yacht clubs. From north (West Pier) to south (East Pier) they are the Dun Laoghaire Motor Yacht Club, the Royal Irish Yacht Club, the Royal St. George Yacht Club, and the National Yacht Club. |
