ST COLUMBANUS’ ROAD
Before exploring the area today I checked Google Maps and there was a pin indicating the location of Leahy Meany Bent Park. I suspect that someone has played a joke.
A few years ago I got off the tram at Windy Arbour and walked along St Columbanus’ Road which I never visited before and then I came across what could be described as a linear park on the banks of a small stream and I could not decide if I was in Dundrum, Clonskeagh or Milltown. Why Clonskeagh? Because Our Lady’s National School had a sign showing its address as Clonskeagh.
I asked two people who I met on my journey and one said Dundrum and the other said Milltown [the property for sale advertisements appear to agree]. Later a friend told me that legally it is in Rathmines Great which came as a surprise but according to my friend Rathmines Great is in the Electoral Division of Dundrum, in Civil Parish of Taney, in the Barony of Rathdown, in the County of Dublin.
