With relation to the Irish language name for Swords, I would say it is "Sórd Choilm Cille", meaning "the sward of St. Collumcille". I'll leave it for a while and see if anyone has another opinion. Bolak77 16:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
As far as I am aware Swords Castle was built in the 13th or 14th centuries so the tidbit about Brian Boru, i believe, is incorrect.
Thats Correct, The Castle was built for the Archbishop of Dublin in Medieval times.
Brian Boru was taken to the Catholic Monastery in Swords founded by St. Colmcille after he died. It Most Cerainly existed at the time of the battle of Clontarf.
[edit] Proposing a move to Swords, Fingal
This article currently resides at Swords, Dublin, but as is clear from the article text itself, it should more properly be at Swords, Fingal. I propose moving it there. Comments? Bastun 17:07, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
There is no COunty Fingal. It should stay where it is.
- Actually, there's no County Dublin. Read Fingal and it's talk page for verification. Bastun 00:34, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

- Yep. Did a search for ", Dublin" earlier and there's actually quite a lot of towns and suburbs listed as "Wherever, Dublin" that should more properly be under Fingal, South Dublin or Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown. Proposing moves one by one would be slow and, as you say, will probably be controversial. Will post about it on WP:IMOS tomorrow when I'm more awake. Bastun 01:20, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
