    Grange is an area within Douglas, which is a suburb of Cork.

    Always thought it was seperate, based on parishes...

    Douglas is 1 parish, Frankfield/Grange is another... (although i am open to correction...)

    Cork County Council consider Douglas West as part of the Grange parish. If you look at An Bord Pleanala website at

    http://www.pleanala.ie/allnew090104.html

    and search for Grange, you'll see an address Douglas West, Grange, Co. Cork. This is standard on all planning issues with Cork County Council. Cork City Council may have a different view entirely, but this part of Douglas is in County Cork for now anyway.

    rochestown, grange and donnybrook are all parts of douglas which the church subdivided into four parishes some years back.

    Depends what part of Rochestown... Douglas parish has most of Rochestown, down to just before the Rochestown Inn... Anything after the river by the inn is in the parish of Passage West... I know it's not quite relevant to Grange but hey...

    Forever? Rochestown goes up the monestary hill and back a bit, and down about 2 miles after the inn towards passage... TBH what most people think of as Rochestown (i.e. by the Rochestown Park Hotel) is actually rochestown road, which is as good as douglas...
