Donabate is a small coastal town in Fingal, Ireland, about north-northeast of Dublin. The town is on a peninsula on Ireland's east coast, between the Rogerstown Estuary to the north and Broadmeadow Estuary to the south. Donabate is a civil parish in the ancient barony of Nethercross.[1] [edit] History
Donabate is reported to have had a population in 1912 of 734 persons living in 150 houses, and it remained a small village for more than a century. In recent years, however, because of the area's easy access to Dublin (improving roads and the presence of a railway station in the village), the population has begun growing significantly. In the 1996 census, the village's population was 1,868; by the time of the 2002 census it had doubled to 3,854, by the 2011 census was 6,778, and as of the 2016 census was 7,443.[2] [edit] Research Tips
