Talk:List of subdivisions of County Dublin
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Civil Parishes overlap the various Dublin Baronies, in some instances.
Each of the Civil Parishes are themselves composed of Townlands -although the identities and boundaries of such townlands in certain inner-city Dublin parishes are lost to us forever, if they ever existed.
Parishes were amalgamated in the 19th Century to form "Poor Law Unions", which were the principal administrative units of the County prior to independence. They are indeed the basis for perhaps many of the approximately 3400 Electoral Divisions or of County Council Local Electoral Areas.
As of the 1899 Local Government Act, the County consisted of both Urban and Rural District Councils -the latter abolished in the 1930s for corruption.
The exact boundaries of Electoral Divisions ought to be visually available on a suitable computer format.
The County Dublin page ought to be formatted ("wikified"!!) to reflect the subdivisions of Dublin.
