Adare Avenue
Developed in the 1960s, and named for Adare Castle, County Limerick, this is one of several streets in this development in Bonnybrook named after castles.
In a report of 15 February 1965 the Council’s Coisde Cuspoiri Coiteann (General Purposes Committee) recommended:
‘That the names of the new roadways in Sections 1 and 2 of the Coolock-Kilmore (Bonnybrook) Housing Area be selected from ancient Irish castles and the following were recommended for approval: Greencastle, Macroom, Ferrycarrig, Glin, Bunratty, Adare and Barryscourt, these names to be used as prefixes to Road, Avenue, Drive, etc.1
On 1 March the recommendation was approved by the Council.2
