Donnnybrook
(
Donnybrook (Irish Domhnach Broc, meaning The Sunday Badger) is a district of Dublin, Ireland. It is situated on the southside of the city, in the Dublin 4 postal district, and is home to the Irish state broadcaster RTÉ. It was once the location of Donnybrook Fair, a fair held from the time of King John onwards which was notorious for drunkenness and violent disorder. This gave rise to the word donnybrook, meaning a brawl or fracas. The fair was banned in 1855 and there is little trace of the village's disreputable past; the only reminder of its raucous history is a supermarket called Donnybrook Fair on the main street, from which the name derives. Donnybrook is now one of the most affluent suburbs of Dublin.
