Dun Laoghaire Rathdown is located on the east coast of Ireland, just south of Dublin City.
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown was set up as a result of the Local Government Act 1993, which dissolved Dublin County Council and created 3 new Local Authorities: Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown, Fingal and South Dublin.
Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown is located between the outer suburbs of Dublin City and the Dublin/Wicklow Mountains on the East Coast of Ireland. That would explain the motto on the coat of arms for the county which reads 'Ó Chuan go Sliabh'. This roughly means 'Between the Mountains and the Sea'.
