What do you mean by built on a village or town? Poulaphouca village existed, thought it is a tiny place, long before the hydroelectric plant was installed or the reservoir was formed.

I think the first contributor's question is: was a village or town covered by the waters when the lake was created? The small village of Ballinahown was covered when the lake was created. BopSmart 14:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure that Poulaphouca is a designated National Park. Can anybody throw light on this please? BopSmart 18:53, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

I don't think the Wicklow National Park extends as far as Poulaphouca. It is mostly the mountainous areas and the official web site does not show the boundaries of the park area nor even really describes its extent. ww2censor 19:27, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
