Summary[edit]

Description

Balbriggan is a town in north County Dublin, Ireland. It was subject to the brutality of the Black and Tans in the 1920, an event known as the 'Sack of Balbriggan'. It was also the location of the 19th century Smith's Stocking Mill, which made stockings for Queen Victoria, as well as men's 'Long-Johns' called Balbrigganers. The latter are referenced in several John Wayne films.

The town is today home of the international headquarters of plastic pipe making company Wavin.

The river Bracken flows through Balbriggan. It once formed a lake in the town known locally at "The Canal", which was reclaimed through land-fill in the early 1980's to form a public park.

The town is situated 30 kilometres (20 miles) north of Dublin city, and is connected to the rail network by the Belfast–Dublin main line. Commuter rail services serve the town, and it is also located next to the M1 motorway. It is also the most northerly town in County Dublin (although Balscadden is further north within County Dublin it is at present only a village.
