Slí Chualann

There's a road sign on a cottage just north of Bray that says: Slí Chualann with the English equivalent given as Dublin Road. Although the road is undoubtedly the road to Dublin, I can't find any reason for it to be called Slí Chulann. Any thoughts?

"Slíghe Chualann - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sl%C3%ADghe_Chualann
"While George Petrie in 1839 suggested that Slíghe Chualann went from Tara to Dublin via an inland route through Ratoath, and then along the coast to Bray, County Wicklow,[2] Petrie's hypothesis is no longer supported. "
