CITYWEST HOTEL NEAR SAGGART

by

I LAST VISITED THE AREA IN APRIL 2016

I could not believe it when I discovered that I have not visited Saggart or the Citywest Hotel since April 2016 so I am now planning to visit the area as soon as the weather improves.

Citywest is a suburban development on the southwestern periphery of Dublin, originally developed as a “business campus.” It contains a large hotel, with a convention centre, a small shopping centre and a small but expanding residential element. Citywest is situated in the southwest of the traditional County Dublin, in the jurisdiction of South Dublin County Council; the nearest major suburban centre is Tallaght, while the semi-suburban village of Saggart is adjacent.

Saggart is a village in South Dublin, Ireland, south west of Dublin city. It lies between the N7 (Naas Road), Rathcoole, Citywest and Tallaght. It is one of the fastest-growing settlements in Ireland, showing a population increase of 46.1% between 2011 and 2016.

PAINT-A-BOX STREET ART BY ANNA DORAN

This street art by Anna Doran was located [2015 – 2017] on Rathmines Road.

As described by the artist: New York artist Stephen Powers aka ESPO has always been a great inspiration to me and to many street artists. My ‘Hold me Close’ traffic light box is a take on his famous works. I wanted to give the traffic light box some attention and a Stephen Power’s hug. I hope it reminds passers by how powerful and healing a hug can be and how they can erase and heal worries.
