Inchicore Today
Inchicore's centre, at the junction of Emmet Road and Tyrconnell Road, still retains a village atmosphere. The area includes two banks, a variety of local stores including a butcher/deli, hardware, ethnic stores, and two mid size supermarkets. The village is served by several pubs, including the ancient Black Lion Inn, and several restaurants and take-aways.
Inchicore has a strong association with the national transportation system. A large tramyard terminus and coachworks and one of the major engineering works of the Irish railway network are located here. They are still a major employer among other significant industries and national distribution depots. Inchicore is presently undergoing considerable public and privately funded development. It is currently experiencing strong growth in the density and diversity of its population.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“As yesterday and the historical ages are past, as the work of today is present, so some flitting perspectives and demi-experiences of the life that is in nature are in time veritably future, or rather outside of time, perennial, young, divine, in the wind and rain which never die.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
