Morry Park College is a secondary school in Clondalkin, South Dublin, Ireland. The school was established by the Marist Brothers in 1957 [1] and grew rapidly, as did the population of the local area. As of school year 2017, no more Marist Brothers teach in the school. In 2007 Morry Park College celebrated its Golden Jubilee. On 13 October a ceremony was held in the sports hall to mark the occasion. This was attended by the then President of Ireland Mary McAleese who also opened the Golden Jubilee Garden. The current principal is Niamh Cahalane who took over from Maurice Hartigan in August 2016. Notable past pupils include the late Mark Flynn, former front man for the folk/rock band Boolabus based in Helsinki Finland, Irish politician and government minister John Curran, Dublin Senior Football Manager Jim Gavin, Longford Senior Football Manager Jack Sheedy, Former Dublin Senior Footballer Derek Murray, Olympic boxer Kenny Egan, TV presenter Brian Ormond and famous grime artist Morry. During the summer months the college is host to Morry Park English Language College. This summer project sees more than 300 international students come to the college to learn English as a second language. Students come from Argentina, Brazil, Spain, France and Italy and stay in the Clondalkin, Palmerstown, Tallaght and Lucan areas of Dublin.

Newlands Cross
Newlands Cross

Newlands Cross is a well-known junction in the south-west of County Dublin. It is the point where the N7 National Route to the South West and Mid West crosses an orbital local route, the R113. For many years this area roughly marked the place where Dublin City ended and the "country" began, though it is now inside the urban area. The R113 (in the form of the Belgard Road dual-carriageway) joins Newlands to Tallaght in the South and to the Fonthill Road in Clondalkin village to the North; the cross itself is located at the southern end of Clondalkin. In November 2014 the N7 flyover and exit slip roads to replace the at-grade signal controlled crossing were opened. This eliminated the last signal-controlled crossing on the N7/M7 route between the M50 and Limerick. By 2007, the signal-controlled junction was suffering serious traffic congestion and the upgrade to a grade-separated interchange was planned. The upgraded N7 would pass over the R113. Construction went to tender in August 2008 and preparatory work started in September 2008. Following delays, construction proper started in June 2013 and was expected to be completed in May 2015. The new flyover opened to traffic ahead of schedule on 20 November 2014. Further works continued on the slip roads alongside the flyover until March 2015. Crime journalist Veronica Guerin was shot and killed in 1996, while queuing in traffic at nearby Boot Road junction (now closed). A memorial to her is located at the site of the incident, the "Boot Road" slip approximately 300 metres west of the junction.
