With relation to the Irish language name for Swords, I would say it is "Sórd Choilm Cille", meaning "the sward of St. Collumcille". I'll leave it for a while and see if anyone has another opinion. Bolak77 16:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)

As far as I am aware Swords Castle was built in the 13th or 14th centuries so the tidbit about Brian Boru, i believe, is incorrect.

Thats Correct, The Castle was built for the Archbishop of Dublin in Medieval times.

Brian Boru was taken to the Catholic Monastery in Swords founded by St. Colmcille after he died. It Most Cerainly existed at the time of the battle of Clontarf.
