Balbriggan, a coastal town about twenty miles north of Dublin city, is named after either Baile Bricín, meaning Town of the Small Trout, or Baile Brigín, meaning Town of the Small Hills.
Balbriggan enjoys excellent transport links. It is situated very close to the M1 Motorway which runs along the east of the country and the Dublin - Belfast train line runs through the centre of the town.
Balbriggan has lots of places of interest including a traditional fishing harbour, beside which is a lovely beach overlooked by a Martello Tower. The restoration of Bremore Castle which is underway serves as a reminder of the wonderful heritage of the town. Ardgillen Castle and Demesne is close-by and offers visitors magnificent views of the Irish Sea.
Balbriggan is a rapidly expanding town which has experienced significant residential and commercial development over the past 10 years. The town boundary was extended in February 2009 to reflect the growth of the town and provide an opportunity to the residents of the newer parts of Balbriggan to vote in the Town Council elections.
The population of Balbriggan is approximately 18,000 as at December 2008. [Source : Balbriggan.ie]
