Tallaght was an attempt at an instant city: take a landscape, build some houses, add people, and stir.
Karl Whitney’s excellent essay Open Space: walking the boundaries of Tallaght has been shortlisted for the Some Blind Alleys Essay Grant. Karl’s essay takes the form of a narrative of a walk taken through Tallaght, and is informed by his own memories of living there, as well as historic research.
You can read the piece here and if you like it, please go here to vote for it. Voting closes this Friday 24th March at noon.
