Bono's House


Click any image for a larger version

It's really all the fault of the Vico Road.

Everyone knows that the Vico Road is in Dalkey.
Bono lives on the Vico Road.
Therefore, Bono lives in Dalkey.

I'm fed up of reading that shite.

You see not all of the Vico Road is in Dalkey. Quite a substantial part of it is in Killiney and where Bono lives is in both the former urban district and current townland of Killiney.

Bono lives in Killiney. Enya lives in Killiney.

It's Pat Kenny that lives in Dalkey and who would want to end up in that neighbourhood.

Just so people will know the score, the map below shows the border between the former urban districts of Killiney and Dalkey and it's a good uphill walk from Bono's house, highlighted in yellow at the bottom.


Bono lives on the actual townland of Killiney, one of the constituent townlands of the former Killiney and Ballybrack urban district.





Strathmore Road

And when you take into account that the entrance to Bono's house was moved from its original position, which could have been argued onto the Vico Road, it is now unequivocally on the Strathmore Road. So Bono doesn't actually live on the Vico Road at all.

So there.
