[edit] Status

Validation: I was talking with one of the County people the other day, and he confirmed that Cherrywood, as part of a Greater Rathmichael-Cherrywood Area, is a formal new District Centre, and legally will be a new Town Centre once the Luas is in. So the business park (strictly, I was told, a Science and Technology Park) is here, unlike perhaps other areas, just the beginning of what I was assured was a rare thing, the deliberate formation of a new suburb (only other example the guy could think of was Adamstown).

OK. But of course "deliberate" isn't a necessary pre-condition for a suburb! Most just evolve out of urban sprawl. (Sarah777 20:11, 20 June 2007 (UTC))

But if emerging, I still think there either needs to be general recognition by media and communities - which takes time, or, and preferably, by official bodies. Even after all the strong growth, most of Dublin's suburbs have long histories - but some new ones, such as Clonee/Ongar, have emerged, albeit if those two are considered separate, the first is centred on a small old village. Anyway, adding a reference to back up my note above. SeoR 01:17, 23 June 2007 (UTC)

Must say, Ongar is a surprise package. I'd never even heard of it! I'd guess that if not for the county line it might just be part of Clonee. (Sarah777 07:29, 23 June 2007 (UTC))

And I am not sure if it should not be listed as part of Clonee, which spreads across parts of Meath and Dublin anyway. Ongar as such is a developer invention, and some of the "component parts" of Clonee are bigger. Ah well, SeoR 22:18, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
