DALKEY

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 768 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DAH-DEM
DALKEY , a small port and watering-place of Co. Dublin, Ireland, in the
south
  parliamentary division; 9 M. S.E. of Dublin by the Dublin &
South
 -Eastern railway. Pop. of urban
district
  (19o1), 3398. It is pleasantly situated on and about
Sorrento
  Point, the southern horn of Dublin Bay. Dalkey
Island
 , lying off the town, has an ancient ruined chapel, of the history of which nothing is certainly known, and a disused battery, which protected the harbour, a landing-place of some former importance. A castle in the town, of the 15th century, is restored to use as offices for the urban
district
  council. There are also ruins of an old
church
 , the dedication of which, like the
island
  chapel, is ascribed to one St Begnet, perhaps a diminutive form of Bega, but the identity is not clear. Until the close of the 18th century Dalkey was notorious for the
burlesque
  election of a " king," a mock ceremony which became invested with a certain political importance.
