What is "lego land" referred to in Balbriggan?

Basically it's where all the new houses are built in the area up past the Garda station.

Yeah, like the poster above says. Up past the garda station beside Dunnes Stores etc.

It got it's name because everyone is small & happy, it's an ideal community where the only limit is your imagination.




Nothing to do with all the new estates looking like something out of legoland (which could be said for most new estates in Dublin)

Yeah Lego-Land is an expression you'll hear in most towns that have loads of new housing estates, not just Balbriggan. 'Toy Town' is another one. Or 'cardboard city'. No reflection on those who live there at all.

Thanks for clearing that up! Small and happy..!
'Cardboard city' - that's a good one

When I first moved to Lusk back in 2005, I called Chapel Farm "Lego Land" simply because the houses were all different colours and not one uniform colour.
