Finglas

Finglas is a residential suburb on the North side of Dublin City in the Republic of Ireland; not to be mistaken with Fingal the county in north Dublin. The name Finglas (Fionn-ghlas in Irish), meaning a clear streamlet, is derived from the rivulet which flows through the village and joins the Tolka at Finglas bridge.
