Dalkey (/ˈdɔːki/DAW-kee; Irish: Deilginis, meaning "thorn island") is an affluent suburb[2] of Dublin, and a seaside resort southeast of the city, and the town of Dún Laoghaire, in the county of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown in the traditional County Dublin, Ireland. It was founded as a Viking settlement and became an active port during the Middle Ages. According to chronicler John Clyn (c.1286–c.1349), it was one of the ports through which the plague entered Ireland in the mid-14th century. In modern times, Dalkey has become a seaside suburb that attracts some tourist visitors.
One of Dublin's wealthiest districts,[3][4][5] it has been home to writers, artists, and celebrities[6] including George Bernard Shaw,[7] Jane Emily Herbert, Julius Olsson, Maeve Binchy, Robert Fisk,[8] and Hugh Leonard.
