Tallaght Hotels & Information

Tallaght is the largest town, and county seat, of South Dublin County, Ireland. It was one of the earliest settlements in the southern part of the island, and one of medieval Ireland's most important monastic centres. The village area, dating from at least the 17th century, occupies a site of significant historical and religious value.

Though Tallaght was little more than a large parish consisting of a village, and perhaps several rural areas, in the 1960s, a vast suburban development was begun in the 1970s and a new town centre area has been developing since the late 1980s. The administrative headquarters of South Dublin County Council are located in the town.

Because of its size and population, there have been numerous calls for it to be given city status. While its proximity to Dublin city make this an unlikely outcome, local feeling, both from politicians and citizens alike, has determined that this is an issue that will not simply go away.

Tallaght is centred 13 km southwest of Dublin city, in the plains by the foothills of the Dublin Mountains. It begins west of Templeogue running west to the border with Saggart, and runs from the boundaries of Glen na Smol and Knocklyon in the south to south of Clondalkin and Walkinstown.
