The article is about Blanchardstown and nothing to do St Bridgids GAA club. Suggest it gets a mention as an amenity and have the pro gaa club content removed . Write a separate article if neccessary Palx 13:59, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
Suggest extensive re-writing, as contains much point-of-view.
[edit] Reversion to a much older version
I've reverted the page back to a modified form of a much older version of this article.
I'm hoping that this article will retain good standards, as I was insulted to see the page wrecked from vandals, especially given as I lived here for the first 17 years of my life. -- TheChrisD™ 18:14, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Public transport
Much as transport in Dublin 15 is poor, could we maybe use a phrase other than "the average .... peaks" - this is stating the maximum time as the average which it is not. Alternatively, a range of times, or a reported true average would be much more appropriate. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 86.40.151.66 (talk) 20:56, 10 April 2007 (UTC).
- About the traffic. The article states that too many small roads etc...
- The reality is that if you want to go to the city centre from Blanchardstown you don't have many options. You have to go through the N3/Navan Road or Via Castleknock. Partly due to geographical reasons, Blanchardstown is split from the rest of the city, because of the M50, and only two main connections connect it. More connections are probably hard to create, due to the Tolka and the Liffey giving a natural (protected) border.
- With only 2 main connections and the amount of traffic, it is no wonder traffic is so bad. By creating a lot of estates, all cars are forced on the same roads anyway. This and the overwhelming amount of traffic lights simply stops all flow. 159.134.94.21 13:39, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
The section on transport is hardly NPOV is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nialler (talk • contribs) 11:09, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
[edit] population
where did the figure of 90,952 come from. According to the 2006 census, it was 62,976. see http://citypopulation.de/Ireland.html JJB 20:02, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
The article lists fingal as a County. This is incorrect it is a county borrough.
