Notes on Blackrock, County Dublin

From the crowded Blackrock Baths and Lord Edward FitzGerald’s beloved Frescati to Napoleon’s Blackrock-born physician Barry O’Meara, Father Ted’s Frank Kelly, jockey Pat Eddery and suffragist Helen Chenevix, this seaside Dublin suburb has an outsized cast of remarkable characters and stories.
