As we celebrate St Brigid’s weekend it is relevant to recall the beautiful Church of St Brigid’s Killester which contains a rare relic of the Saint .

We have submitted a request to DCC to reinstate the missing 'Abbeyfield' nameplate sign onto the Legion Hall which we are delighted to know that works are due in Q1 2026 for the reinstatement. We have also requested an update of the vintage style nameplates in the area. 📜📌
Dublin City Council – Artane/Whitehall@DCCartane_whall

The Public Domain Team have been replacing some defective DCC Street Nameplates around the North Central Area. 🪧 If you notice any signs in need of some love please email ncapublicdomain@dublincity.ie or phone 012228870 and we will endeavour to have it upgraded in 2026.

Interesting shows as the Legion Hall was once used for dances, ballet and other arts 🎭 Who remembers dancing in the hall?
Edwina Guckian@EdwinaGuckian

So many people asking if there are any upcoming dates for this show? Get polishing those dancing shoes! There will plenty more of The Devil’s in the Dance Hall in 2026. We’ll be announcing details in the new year. But something very special is brewing. Actually it’s been brewing for nearly a century!… Tuesday 16th December we’ll tell you all about it. 😁 Video by @itchyfeetcreative filmed in The Ballroom of Romance, Co. Leitrim at the opening night of The Devil’s in the Dance Hall #GraltonBigBand #DanceHall @aircdamhsa Supported by @artscouncil_ie Traditional Arts Project Award

Killester has a rich history; from its roots as a manorial centre, serving as home to an infamous Dublin banking family, to 'garden village' for veterans of WWI & beyond. Pick up a copy of our recent book to discover more of the suburb's fascinating lore! fourcourtspress.ie/books/2025/kil…
