Malahide is most certainly not named after Lord and Lady Malahide. The title was Lord Talbot de Malahide anyhow, and the name comes from Mullach Íde, meaning the Hill of St. Ita. Perhaps you could say its named after St. Ita!
Why did someone rename Malahide as a "township". I would call it a suburb or a town. Anyone else agree? (posted by 83.70.64.144)
I think this sentence is a bit strange "It is home to approximately 15,000 inhabitants and the St. Sylvester's GAA teams". It makes it seem like the gaa club is either the most important or only organisation in the village. I'm going to change it to just "It is home to approximately 15,000 inhabitants." Maybe in the future someone can add info about various clubs and organisations based there. Cognoscenti 22:54, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
Um, Bono doesn't live in Malahide. I'm gong to remove that point. Objection 22:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
The article originally said that Malahide derived from Mullach Íde, meaning the Hill of St. Ita, which is indeed a literal translation. Although there are modern associations in the area with St Ita (Ide) I don't think the historical person ever visited. Other sources quote Mullagh h-Ide or Mullagh Ide, meaning the sandhills of the Hydes. Any local historians know if either is correct? Suckindiesel 22:21, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
The idea that the town was named after a Norman landowner who died some 200 years after the Talbots had moved in makes absolutely no sense. What was it called between 1174 and the renaming as Malahide in the 14th century? Why would the Talbots rename their castle and the town 200 years after moving in? All of the Google links I have seen referring to this naming seem to be lifted directly from the Wiki article (apart from the Fingal Independent one above which has at least a name for the mysterious Hyde of Donabate). The 2 sources for this are both fairly dubious, and may in fact be based on the actual wiki article. I will look into this a bit more over the weekend, but it seems to me that as SeoR says abobe this "Sands of the Hydes" business is a new concept and I would suggest including the "Hill of St Ita" name too, I grew up in Malahide and this was always the derivation used when I was young, both at school, and in local histories. 198.240.128.75 ( talk) 16:11, 5 November 2009 (UTC)
Sarah - see here (including the mentioned Schedule 5) and here (particularly 9(1) (a)). Malahide is in the County of Fingal, full stop, simply because there is no longer a County Dublin. Bastun BaStun not BaTsun 10:47, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
Hallo there. It seems there is a confusion, perhaps understandable in an international publication though not a more experienced encyclopedia, between the legal structure of county authorities and the reality of the 32 Counties of Ireland. This is not new, as the famous Tipperary has been divided into two County Authorities for many years (North Riding and South Riding). This is little known, not even everyone in Ireland knows, and no one cares much. "Tipp" is "Tipp". Same went for Yorkshire in the UK. It may be the size of a small country but it is just Yorkshire, no matter how many ways it is chopped up, and it has been through many mutations. The same for many of the UK's traditional counties, kicked into all sorts of strange shapes over the last century or so. And the same goes for Dublin. County Dublin no longer exists as an administrative entity, in part because of concerns about the operation of the old County Council. Sad but true. But legislation does not define reality, thank the Lord!, and County Dublin lives on just fine. Just ask anyone, or go watch the GAA. The abolition referenced in one of those links does not undo over 750 years. If Wikipedia wants to be credible as a source of knowledge about Ireland, it must cover both the legal situation (which gives us the lovely Fingal County Council and the "County Town" of Swords) and the historic and ordinary folks' reality. Would not be surprised if the "bits" of County Dublin change again over time, after all the Soutside used to contain all sorts of strangeness, and even up here we had an Urban Township of Clontarf! All the best with what is generally an excellent tool! I have learnt something new almost every time I have visited. 217.118.66.62 06:04, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
This section seems to imply that an Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern is a famous Malahide resident. 193.1.172.104 12:03, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
The fact that a member of a boyband has moved into malahide recently should not be mentioned- a lot more talented people born & bred in Malahide dont get a mention —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.45.87.3 ( talk) 23:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

To to reverting a miles preference over km and Soccer->Football conversion (local please check) I am wondering if it is appropriate to add the Template:Use Irish English. Any disagreement on this?
@ Djm-leighpark: I am an infrequent contributor but being local I sought to make a contribution to update these images. I am flabbergasted by the decision to take away most of my photos, to which I made an effort to capture and are recent, in favour of smaller files from 2007. The one user who did this seems to believe he owns this page and is the final arbitrator of what looks good. I am unpersuaded by 'concerns' about this, I receive nothing in return for using my own images, I just wanted things to be up-to-date. I request others or higher-ups to put a stop to this behaviour as it is just not on at all and if other newcomers are treated as I am there may be no incentive to contribute at all if this is what occurs.
