Explanatory note

  • Gaeilge

    ‘the town(land) of the park, north’.
    Cé gurb é Páirceanna an Bhaile Thuaidh an gnáthaistriúchán de Townparks North, léiríonn a leithéid de Parktown [ows] Ballynapark’ (1782) gurbh é Baile na Páirce an leagan Gaeilge a bhí ar Townparks i mBaile Átha Troim.

  • English

    ‘the town(land) of the park, north’.
    While Townparks North would typically be translated as Páirceanna an Bhaile Thuaidh, historical references such as 'Parktown [ows] Ballynapark’ (1782) show that Baile na Páirce was the Irish form of Townparks in Trim.
