    If the map on that examiner link is correct (which I don't think it is), that location is a lot more Tallaght than it is Walkinstown.

    No.... its walkinstown 100%, if your driving down the greenhills road from tallaght the marker for the change from tallaght to walkinstown is the m50.

    Well some people are.

    A truck in Nice
    A bomb in Belgium
    A axe in Germany
    And a knife in Normandy. Not sure which gun attacks have been going on around Europe.

    Eh, you missed Bataclan in Paris and the Brussels attacks, or don't they fit?

    one of the newspapers said 'Greenhills'
    There is also a place called Tymon which may or may not exist.

    I would agree, the map on that link has the marker on the Nest side of the M50 - hence I said I don't think it's correct. I can't picture any scrapyards after Aldi (formerly Chadiwcks iirc) is.

    Anyway, OT. Abu Nahasapinapetalon!

    The map is wrong, this scrapyard is between the Walkinstown roundabout & the Aldi on the left as you drive that way

    It's in Walkinstown all right. The map is wrong, photo in the article is of this place.

    That would depend which way you were travelling

    and how close to the speed of light you were travelling relative to the long "mile" road

    Since when? St Mary's is Walkinstown and across the Drimnagh Road is Drimnagh. Crumlin starts at the junction of the bingo hall as far as I've always been aware.

    Its been that way for a good long time from what I remember, when I was growing up I was under the same impression as you but it seems to have changed a few years back when the HSE etc decided on Catchment areas.

    This.

    Long Mile pub is actually right beside Drimnagh Castle school.

    Plus the scrapyard is actually Greenhills. Tallaght starts at the M50 flyover.

    Sorry :)

    Sure it's all "over there" anyway.

    I love how you always get people on the radio whenever this happens to say, "it's such a nice, quiet area"... "settled, yeah, yeah"....

    Nobody ever says, "Actually, it's rough as fuck around here"

    It's not really even an area as such. Just couple of yards facing out onto a busy main road.

    You'd have to go down to Walkinstown roundabout or back toward Tallaght /Limekiln to hit houses.
