Creative Places Darndale
Creative Places Darndale is a three-year project supported by the Arts Council. The Creative Places programme invests in places (such as towns, villages, suburbs, island communities) that have had fewer opportunities to take part in the arts.
History of Darndale
Taking its name from the Irish word “darndál” meaning “daffodil”, the first family took up residence in Darndale in 1975. Consisting of just over 900 units, Darndale was divided into five areas known as Buttercup, Marigold, Primrose, Snowdrop and Tulip. Now one of the largest residential areas in Dublin, there are many Dubliners that have memories of living in or visiting family in Darndale.
