Irishtown
Irishtown is a district of Dublin, Ireland. It is situated on the southside of the River Liffey, between Ringsend and the city centre.
It lies a short distance outside the medieval city walls of Dublin. When the Irish inhabitants of Dublin were expelled from the city in the 15th century, they settled in Irishtown, giving the area its name.
Other towns in Ireland have similar named areas, for instance Athlone and Clonmel.
