Dundalk guide

Dundalk is the county town of County Louth in Ireland, situated close to the border with Northern Ireland. It takes its name from Dún Dealgan, Dalga's fort home closely associated with the famous mythical warrior Cúchulainn and was granted its charter in 1189. It is sited on the lowest bridging point of the Castletown River.

The town's crest reads "Mé do rug Cú Chulainn Cróga" (I gave birth to brave Cú Chulainn) Dundalk is twinned with the town of Rezé in France. Within legally defined boundaries, Dundalk is the largest town in Ireland with a population of 29,037 inhabitants. Dundalk today retains the linear characteristics of a medieval town, although there is evidence of prehistoric and early Christian settlements. The town is now the sixth largest conurbation in the Republic of Ireland in population and is strategically located on the east coast equi-distant between Dublin and Belfast, the two largest cities on the island. The town has a total population of 35,085 (2006 Census). Dundalk Institute of Technology is the town's third level institution. Dundalk is also home to Internet Service Providers Digiweb.
