    Great idea. Good to put in a few clues about suburbs - mr Just and I just had a disagreement about whether Knocknacarra is a Yes or a Maybe.

    I'd have to agree with all the yes/no bits myself: there are fine bits in some of the No's, but it takes a bit of insider knowledge to figure out what's what.

    (And I live in a Yes!)

    Knocknacarra should definitely be a no anyway.

    OP what is it you're searching for exactly?

    The part by the Golf Club up to Joyce's and along the Barna road is a 'Yes'. Further up hill, towards the WDR, rapidly becomes a definite 'No'.

    That's the Kingston Road

    It's also Knocknacarra since it's too far out to be considered Salthill and Knocknacarra road is right in the middle of it.

    The Kingston Road is, well, a road, not a suburb.

    Here is the area of which I speak:

    In a funny way, you're probably right, not that it matters in the context of this map. Kingston Road is a relatively new name anyway - it didn't exist until about 30 - 35 years ago. Until then, Taylor's Hill stretched as far as Knocknacarra Cross. Old maps in the early 1800s show what's now Kingston Road as being called Circular Road, which of course is now a road in a completely different place.
