R102 Road (Ireland)
The R102 road is a regional road in Dublin, Ireland, which describes a broad arc across the north of the city, connecting the N3 (Navan Road) — at its M50 motorway intersection — to the R107 (Malahide Road) on the other side of the city. The first section of the route starts from the N3 and closely follows the River Tolka through Dunsink, Scribblestown, and Ashtown. It then hugs the border of Tolka Valley Park until it reaches the R135 in southern Finglas. The R102 resumes after the traveller has gone 230 metres south on the R135 (Finglas Road) to join the second section of the route. The second section begins heading east on the Old Finglas Road. A brief 200 metres swing to the north along Tolka Estate and a turn to the east takes the road to Griffith Avenue. The R102 stays on Griffith Avenue, passing through southern Glasnevin, Marino and touching Fairview and Clontarf until its terminal junction at the R107 (Malahide Road) (the line of the road is c ...

Regional Road (Ireland)
A regional road ( ga, bóthar réigiúnach) in the Republic of Ireland is a class of road not forming a major route (such as a national primary road or national secondary road), but nevertheless forming a link in the Roads in Ireland, national route network. There are over 11,600 kilometres (7,200 miles) of regional roads. Regional roads are numbered with three-digit route numbers, prefixed by "R" (e.g. R105). The equivalent road category in Northern Ireland are Roads in Northern Ireland#"B" roads, B roads. History Until 1977, classified roads in the Republic of Ireland were designated with one of two prefixes: Trunk Roads in Ireland, "T" for Trunk Roads and "L" for Link Roads. ThLocal Government (Roads and Motorways) Act authorised the designation of roads as National roads: in 1977, twenty-five National Primary roads (N1-N25) and thirty-three National Secondary roads (N51-N83) were initially designated unde Many of the remaining classified roads became Regional roads (formally ...

National Secondary Road
A national secondary road ( ga, Bóthar Náisiúnta den Dara Grád) is a category of road in Ireland. These roads form an important part of the national route network but are secondary to the main arterial routes which are classified as national primary roads. National secondary roads are designated with route numbers higher than those used for primary roads, but with the same "N" prefix. Routes N51 and higher are all national secondary roads. National secondary roads have a default speed limit of 100 km/h (62.5 mph) as, along with national primary routes, they fall into the speed limit category of ''national roads''. There are 2657 km of national secondary roads in Ireland, making up slightly over 50% of the entire national route (national primary and national secondary) network. TII: ...

National Primary Road
A national primary road ( ga, Bóthar prÃomha náisiúnta) is a road classification in Ireland. National primary roads form the major routes between the major urban centres. There are 2649 km of national primary roads. This category of road has the prefix "N" followed by one or two digits. Motorways are prefixed "M" followed by one or two digits. Description The routes numbered N1–N11 radiate anti-clockwise from Dublin, with those in the range N12–N26 being cross-country roads. Routes numbered N27–N33 are much shorter roads than the majority of the network: they link major pieces of infrastructure (such as ports and airports) to the network, such as the N33 being a feeder route to a major motorway (the M1). Finally, the N40 and the M50 are bypass roads of Ireland's two largest cities, Cork and Dublin. National secondary roads (see next section) are numbered under the same scheme with higher numbers (from N51 on). On road signage, destinations served but not on the ...

Roads In Ireland
The island of Ireland, comprising Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, has an extensive network of tens of thousands of kilometres of public roads, usually surfaced. These roads have been developed and modernised over centuries, from trackways suitable only for walkers and horses, to surfaced roads including modern motorways. Driving is on the left-hand side of the road. The major routes were established before Irish independence and consequently take little cognisance of the border other than a change of identification number and street furniture. Northern Ireland has had motorways since 1962, and has a well-developed network of primary, secondary and local routes. The Republic started work on its motorway network in the early 1980s; and historically, the road network there was once somewhat less well developed. However, the Celtic Tiger economic boom and an influx of European Union structural funding, saw national roads and regional roads in the Republic of Ireland, Rep ...

Clontarf, Dublin
Clontarf () is a largely affluent coastal suburb on the Northside of Dublin in the city's Dublin 3 postal district. Historically there were two centres of population, one on the coast towards the city, and the fishing village of Clontarf Sheds, further north on the coast at what is now Vernon Avenue.

His book, ''To-Morrow: A Peaceful Path to Real Reform, To-morrow, a Peaceful Path to Real Reform'' (1898), was reprinted in 1902 titled ''Garden Cities of To-morrow, Garden Cities ...

Covering approximately , sections of the park are laid-out over a former city landfill, while the eastern part of the park is located on the estate lands of the former Finglaswood House. Some of park's wooded areas were planted in 2011, while the wetland sections of the park were developed in 1999. These "integrated constructed wetlands" were built at the confluence between the Finglaswood Stream and River Tolka, and designed to improve water quality and reduce pollution in the watercourse. Sections of the River Tolka, within the park, have been stocked with salmon and trout. There are sports pitches, a par-3 municipal golf course, and a pitch and putt course on the site.
