Clonliffe?

'I've never heard this area referred to as Clonliffe. The eastern end of Clonliffe Road (past Jones' Road) is generally accepted to be in Ballybough, while the western end is usually thought of as Drumcondra.

Granted, the old postal districts map lists "Clonliffe" as part of Dublin 3, but in practice nobody uses this name.

Renaming article to Clonliffe Road

edit

I know the previous comment was from a long time ago, but I would tend to agree. I didn't find this article until I did some general Googling, as I was intending to write the article for Clonliffe Road. The main historical article on the area by Dillon in 1904 states even then that calling the area Clonliffe had fallen out of use. I suggest moving this to Clonliffe Road, as the article can still reference the defunct area name and the historical buildings etc in its environs. Smirkybec (talk) 15:00, 16 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
