Right, for those of you in the know.
What would you consider this? Would you consider it west dublin, inner (city) dublin or south dublin?
Personally, I have always considered it inner dublin/west dublin along with cork street etc but never south dublin......

ya thats prolly what i would call it or west inner city perhaps....
It's in the South Inner City.
Its far too far out to be considered inner city.
Its the start of west Dublin. West Dublin kind of runs at a vector from Inchicore to Tallaght to Blanchardstown.
Politically speaking its gone from Dublin west to Dublin Central to Dublin South Central.
It is in the south half of Dublin though

Its far too far out to be considered inner city.Basin Street Flats, Fatima Mansions are all less than a half mile from Inchicore and they are Dublins South Inner City. I would refer to it as being in the South Inner City.

too far out to be inner city....inner city has to be walkable from city centre...and inchicore would be a long walk...(bout 45 mins)

Inner City post codes are Dublin 1 & Dublin 2,Inchicore is Dublin 8.Why then havs Ballybough got a Dublin 3 post code and Christchurch and Parkgate Street got a Dublin 8 code?

Why then has Ballybough got a Dublin 3 post code and Christchurch and Parkgate Street got a Dublin 8 code?
I suppose the post codes have to start/end somewhere?.
Dublin 8 is the only postcode that has Streets North & South of the Liffey
for some reason.
I suppose you can pick out Roads & Streets here and there that make the numbers system look silly but I think there's no way you could say Inchicore is City Centre,imho.

Why then havs Ballybough got a Dublin 3 post code and Christchurch and Parkgate Street got a Dublin 8 code?Because Ballybough is closer to the GPO than Christchurch and Parkgate Street?
And also aren't the postcodes broadly clockwise starting at the 12 O'Clock?
Those are guesses before anyone attempts to pillory me!

No it's not.
Some suburbs are divided by the Liffey like Lucan,Chapelizod etc but they're areas as opposed to post codes.
What are the other ones?

Dublin 20 is on both sides of the Liffey.
Chapelizod Village to just beyond the Wren's Nest on the Strawberry Beds including one third of the Phoenix Park on the north side as well as Moutn Sackville School
From St Lawrences Road (Lr Ballyfermot Rd) to St Lomans Hospital on the south including Palmerstown
South Inner City based on the fact it there is no such this as Mid-West City.

The Belfield Bowl's still in D4 Jerry.
South Inner City based on the fact it there is no such this as Mid-West City.
But there's a South Inner City? Whats the difference
BTW POS, she is from the southside. Go and tell her she's a knacker though like the rest of us

Can't be considered South (as opposed to inner-city) IMO because it's inside the canal. I'd consider it West for the spurious reason that it's West of Heuston station.
Its South because its South of the Liffey, the only way to be categorised as South, despite the snobbier southsiders shame...

If there's a category of places to be described as inner-city rather than South-city (which was the point of the thread I think), there has to be a dividing line between the two somewhere and the canal, for the most part, is a useful line. It's not a matter of snobbishness and obviously Inchicore is on the Southside.
The point of the thread is POS looking to get one up on some burd... ;)
The canal runs through clondalkin but surely you won't consider them Inner city

As a Culchie :D, I would consider Cork Street to be South inner city but I always considered Inchicore to be west Dublin*
