| - Sandymount (Dumhach Thrá in Irish) is a upper-class seaside village/suburb in the district of Dublin 4 in Ireland. Blackpool is also a coastal town, but will never have the feelgood factor of Sandymount's friendly local ladies of the night. The area is bounded on the Strand Road and Beach Road side by the sea at Sandymount Strand and Merrion Strand. To the north is Irishtown Garda station and to the west, Ballsbridge. Sandymount Green is a triangular park at the centre of the village, a popular meeting place for the Dublin 4 Oompa-Loompa's to show off their fake tan and peroxide blonde hair. The Catholic church in Sandymount is dedicated to Our Lady Star of the Sea, and pagan rituals continue to this day, worshipping the sun, blood sacrifice, believing in Ian Paisley and bingo on Thursday nights. Mount Tabor nursing home shares the grounds of the church and is a popular place for relatives looking to get written into a will. The supermarket currently operated by Tesco Ireland is unique in the chain, frequently running out of Diet Coke and charging €4 for a bottle of water. Ryan's pub, the local tavern is a name synonymous with overpriced alcohol and only place on earth requiring I.D. to buy Club Orange. Ryan's is owned by George Hook's hobosexual half brother, Geoffrey. Today, many of the family-run businesses have left the village, moving to classier areas. Franchises such as Tesco, Xtra Vision and Spar have made their presence felt but the overriding feel of the village is one of small, poverty stricken and dog molesting cajoling houses. The village contains almost all of the shops one could possibly need; butcher, crack den, cobbler, cafe's, barber, chipper, art gallery, sex shop,post office, clothes and sex shops and rape house. The chip shop is run by a member of the Borza family, an Italian cartel currently dominating the import of greasy food. The village is served by two pubs, and a number of restaurants and cafe's. Sandymount has a station on the electrified (DART) suburban railway system, although it's placed away from the village, so commuters from the more upper-class areas of Greystones and Blackrock aren't jealous of Sandymount's picturesque and quaint seaside lifestyle.
