    Check http://www.floodmaps.ie/ Finds about 13 results for Baldoyle, not sure how many for Seagrange.

    Thanks but I have checked that site but I would like more information. It is showing up flooding in 2011 very close by to Seagrange road which is what I am concerned about, so looking for advice from anyone who is living in the area

    It was bad in the 80s/90s, but it's fine now.

    It can happen, but not as bad as previously.

    hasnt been flooding in baldoyle in years and last time there was flooding was only on grange road and that was because the drains were blocked and there was a spring tide. thyve upgraded the drainage and pipe work in the area over the last 20 years so its pretty much ok

    That is great thank you so much for that! Do you think Seagrange road is an ok area/safe at night etc?

    Very safe. Baldoyle is somewhat overlooked by people as there isn't much in terms of amenities, but Sutton, Howth, Portmarnock and Malahide are in driving distance. I have been living in Baldoyle all my life, but I don't socialise in Baldoyle.

    Thanks a mill, I have heard it was referred to in the past as 'Jerusalem' so just making sure that it is ok nowadays!
