County Dublin
(Irish: Baile Atha Cliath) is the capital and largest city of the Republic of Ireland, located near the midpoint of Ireland's east coast, at the mouth of the River Liffey and at the centre of the Dublin Region. The city has served continually as Ireland\'s capital city since mediaeval times. The term "Dublin Region" has become a substitute for the traditional County Dublin, whilst "Greater Dublin Area" is accepted as including the city and all of counties Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal, Kildare, Meath, South Dublin and Wicklow. The limits of the commuter belt stretch to a much greater distance than either of these areas. The population of the city proper was 495,781 at the census of 2002. Beyond this, at the same census, the city and county population of the Dublin Region was 1,122,821 whilst the Greater Dublin Area had a figure of 1,565,446.
