Fassaugh Avenue / Fassaugh Road, Dublin 7

Victor

Name

• OSi, Dublin Bus, and An Post have the 'u' at the start, i.e. Faussagh.
• www.logainm.ie, Sráidainmneacha Bhaile Átha Cliath and Google have the 'u' at the end, i.e. Fassaugh.
• The street name plates are mostly the former. Business use seems to mostly follow this.

Background

• Much as some people would have you believe, they are not all the one road with the one name!
• The western junction with Saint Attracta Road is the break between Fassaugh Avenue / Fassaugh Road.
• There was a historic lane called Fassaugh Lane where Fassaugh Road and part of Fassaugh Avenue are now.
• The etymology appears to be "fásach". Or, to quote Bosco, "u-fásach".

Any thoughts on the correct spelling?

Any idea what the etymology of The Bogie’s Roundabout is? https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/53.36736/-6.30229

I've got Bernard Neary's book on Dublin 7 and there's a Cabra chapter. The Bogeys may have resulted from the fact that there were disused cattle bogeys on the adjacent railway line at Reilly's Bridge.

I know it's like a dirt bike track on Christmas morning

😅 You're interested in the etymology of the dirtbike track ? (it's a lot more than just Christmas morning).

Better question is: what is the reason behind the social degradation of the area.
