context_page_description: Dún Laoghaire is a suburban coastal town in the traditional county of Dublin in Ireland. It is the county town of Dún Laoghaire–Rathdown, one of the three authorities that replaced the old Dublin County Council.
  The town was built following the 1816 legislation that allowed the building of a major port to serve Dublin. It was known as Dunleary until it was renamed Kingstown in honour of King George IV's 1821 visit, and in 1920 was given its present name, the original Irish form of Dunleary. Over time, the town became a residential location, a seaside resort and the terminus of Ireland's first railway.
context_section_description: The Dún Laoghaire area is home to three third-level education establishments;  Dún Laoghaire Institute of Art, Design and Technology (IADT), Dun Laoghaire Further Education Institute (DFEi) formerly called Dún Laoghaire College of Further Education (DCFE) on Cumberland Street in Dun Laoghaire town, and Sallynoggin College of Further Education (SCFE). 
  The main primary school in Dún Laoghaire is Dominican Primary School Dún Laoghaire.  Another local primary school is Harold National School, Glasthule founded in 1872.
  Dún Laoghaire has seen several of its secondary schools close in the past two decades, due to population shifts to outlying areas. Four schools which closed are CBS Eblana Avenue, founded in 1856 and closed in 1992 (although the fee-paying school C.B.C. Monkstown which relocated from Eblana continues to this day); the Dominican Convent girls' school, which closed a year earlier in 1991; Dun Laoghaire Community College (previously Dun Laoghaire Tech) which changed to a Further Education Institute in 1996 and to Dun Laoghaire Further Education Institute (DFEi) since then ; and Presentation Brothers, Glasthule founded in 1902, closed in 2007.
  In Monkstown Farm, Holy Family National School is a primary school; Monkstown Educate Together National School (METNS) is on Kill Avenue, Dún Laoghaire.
