Eglington Court

The village that lent its name to the English language — the Donnybrook Fair ran from 1204 until 1855, growing so notorious for brawling that a 'donnybrook' became a synonym for a rowdy fight. Today the village is considerably more refined: tree-lined residential streets, a rugby ground, the RTE campus at Montrose, and a parish church dating to the eighth century. The proximity to Herbert Park and UCD keeps the area feeling connected without being crowded.
