Malahide (Mullach de in Irish) is a township in County Fingal (fomerly County Dublin) in the Republic of Ireland. It lies between Swords and Portmarnock. It is one of Dublin’s wealthiest suburban towns. The name Mullach de in Irish means The Promonitory of St. Ita. It is home to approximately 15,000 inhabitants and the St. Sylvester’s GAA teams.
Malahide boasts the fine Malahide Castle and gardens, which were once the estate of Lord Talbot de Malahide. The town grew in popularity in Georgian times as a seaside resort for wealthy Dublin city dwellers. This is evident today in the fine collection of Georgian houses in the town and along the seafront.
