Sorry to dredge this thread up again. The building work for the Creche and medical centre are well under way but certainly not close to being finished.
I live in Melrose Park and I agree with the posters here there is a severe problem with a sense of identity. I put Swords on my address for post, not because I feel I live in Swords but my post does go to Swords post office for sorting, this is a fact. A friend of mine lives in Laois but near the Carlow border and her post is sorted in Carlow Post office, therefore she puts Carlow on her address, this doesn't mean she thinks she lives in Carlow.
My home is closest to the village of Swords than it is to Malahide village or St Nicholas of Myra church. However, my estate is in the Malahide garda stations zone for want of a better word. This means I have to go to Malahide station to get passport forms etc. stamped (although I usually chance my arm in Swords because it's more convenient).
The concepts of Feltrim and Drynam as geographical regions rather than residential areas is also a flaky one. I would consider Feltrim anywhere between the quarry and the junction of Malahide Road and Feltrim Road, I don't know how people that live in Myra Manor (or whatever that housing development is called) or those big (and a few small houses) refer to their location, possibly Malahide! I would consider Drynam to start on the Drynam road and stretch towards the roundabout, thus including Foxwood. Not sure how the Meliesan esate fits into this. I was under the impression people living in Drynam considered it a subset of Swords.
Ultimately the only geographical boundaries that are clearly laid out are Post Codes (D1, D17, D11 etc.) but as all this area is in the County dublin post code it doesn't apply. Therefore, it is almost at the land developers discretion whether he wants to call an area Malahide or Swords or something else. There is a similar problem in Dubliun 15 with people deciding new estates are in Mulhuddart rather than Blanchardstown and Coolmine rather than Clonsilla etc. etc. etc.
Where Kinsealy begins and ends I do not know, and this is further convoluted by the usage of the term Kinsaley.
