They also moved Newbridge and Aughrim to Co. Galway. It's all part of the constituency re shuffle.

That is Aughrim, Co Galway, which is of historical significance!
As for Newbridge, its a common name.
Ireland has a tendancy to have several towns with the same names.

Someone in Dublin attempting to visit Newcastle for example would have a choice of taking the 68 or the 84X, depending on the Newcastle they seek.

We've always had an Aughrim and Newbridge in Co Galway !

Although you have a point about the constituency boundary changes as these areas are being shoved into the Roscommon constituency.

Meanwhile, has anyone noticed that Co Monaghan has quietly left the republic?

You may need to scroll over the image for the address to appear at the top.

The words "Address is approximate" have never been more apt. :pac:

I think it's the other way around they've moved Dublin to dunboyne

I think this might be the reason dunboyne is showing up as Dublin 1 on maps.

On a side note, can anyone confirm if as a result of updated postal codes in the last while, the postal code for dunboyne has changed to west county Dublin? Ive seen it in a couple of spots. I doubt its used.

if you go to maps and search for Dunboyne it comes up with the correct place. not sure how the OP has linked to the one in Dublin but it's not an error, just a very specific search

Just go to Google Maps and search for Dublin, zoom in 3 times and you see it.

It is on Parnell street if you zoom in a couple of times you'll see it. I think the reason is as i mentioned above because there is a business in the area with dunboyne in the description. Seems to be the only logical explanation.

Has Dunboyne been moved to Dublin?
