Development
East Wall dates from the end of the eighteenth century from the time of the construction of the North Wall. Owing to the construction of the Royal Canal in the nineteenth century of and subsequent local port infrastructure East Wall is bounded by Railway lines, the Royal Canal, the River Tolka, the River Liffey and Dublin Port (the Irish Sea) resulting in a readily identifiable area geographically if somewhat separated from the large city which surrounds it. (Reference: DDA, 2004)
Originally a working class area, with many finding employment in Dublin Port, adjacent, the area, close to the city centre, developed rapidly, with the notable addition of the International Financial Services Centre, mostly in neighbouring North Wall, and East Point Business Park on reclaimed land extending East Wall.

It is also about whether governments will follow where women have so clearly led them, toward safe, simple and reliable choices in family planning. While Cairo crackles with conflict, in the homes of the world the orthodoxies have been duly heard, and roundly ignored.”
—Anna Quindlen (b. 1952)
