Dun Laoghaire

Dun Laoghaire lies on the east coast of Ireland and is just 12 km south of Dublin. Dun Laoghaire derives its name from two words: Dun – a fort in Irish and the name of King Laoghaire who is said to have allowed St. Patrick to travel across the country in order to preach Christianity.

It is famous for its sprawling promenade along the coast which is also known as the East Pier. The other places of interest are Dún Laoghaire Library, National Maritime Museum and the People’s Park.

Dún Laoghaire Harbour Company operates the harbour facilities.

	Due to Dun Laoghaire’s proximity to Dublin, most of the roads like the M1, N2, N3, M4, M7, N81 and N11 disperse throughout the country from the twin cities.
	Dublin Bus is the operator for transport within and the areas nearby the city.
	DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) is the suburban train operator which connects to Dublin and other towns.
	Stena Line operates ferries between Dun Laoghaire and Holyhead, Wales.
