Inchicore/Kilmainham boundary

Bangle

Hi,

I am trying to determine the boundary of Kilmainham/Inchicore ie. Where does Kilmainham end and Inchicore begin? Particularly in reference to Inchicore Rd, Emmet Rd & Bulfin Rd.

(Tried post office, no help - girl actually said she didn't know)

IMHO, Inchicore ends at the Suir Road.

Heading toward town, Mount Brown and Kilmainham are the areas to the left (and ahead of) of the Inchicore road and down to con colbert road. Kilmainham and MB go as far as the Patriot Pub /James Hospital / Kilmainham Gaol/ Thomas Street.

I would class Emmet and Bulfin road as Inchicore, no matter what an estate agent says.

Both areas have the same post code, Dublin 8 and grand and convenient. The roads are all very close to the Suir Road Luas stop.

Drimangh, Crumlin and the rest of Dublin 12 are on the other side of the canal from Inchicore and Kilmainham.

Islandbridsge borders Kilmainham on the other side ,(across the liffey)

I imagine there is no real boundary.

I have a map somewhere that show electoral division and I'll see what that says.

Inchicore and Kilmainham are not so much places as states of mind, ways of being. They are about identity and belonging as much as they are about geography.
