Editing Inchicore (section)

==History==
Inchicore grew from a small village near a marsh on the River Camac at ''Inse Chór '' or ''Inse Chaoire''. Some sources suggest that ''Inse Chaoire'' means "sheep island", referring to the spot where sheep were herded and watered outside Dublin city prior to market.<ref name="journal2018">{{cite web|url = https://www.thejournal.ie/inchicore-neighbourhood-guide-4171677-Aug2018/ | publisher = Journal Media Ltd | website = thejournal.ie | title = Your guide to Inchicore: Railway village tucked between the river and the canal | date = 10 August 2018 | accessdate = 18 July 2021 }}</ref> Other sources, including the [[Placenames Database of Ireland]], do not give a definitive source for the place name.<ref name="logainm"/>

In the late 19th century, the village developed into a significant industrial and residential suburb, due primarily to its engineering works and the west city tramway terminus. By the 20th century, Inchicore was incorporated into the administrative area of the expanding city.<ref name="journal2018"/>

The [[Great Southern and Western Railway]], which began constructing its network in 1844, elected to site its workshops in the then countryside at Inchicore outside the built-up suburbs of Dublin.  Between the years 1846 and 1848 several houses and a Workmans Dining Hall were built on Inchicore Road.  As the works complex expanded in the nineteenth-century house building in Inchicore expanded with the works being the predominant employer.<ref>{{Cite journal|jstor = 23193861|title = The Engineers' Strike in Inchicore Railway Works, 1902|journal = Saothar|volume = 9|last1 = Geraghty|first1 = Hugh|last2 = Rigney|first2 = Peter|year = 1983|pages = 20–31}}</ref>

Inchicore is the location of a large tram yard terminus and coachworks and the major engineering works of the Irish railway network are located here. These are still major employers among other industries and national distribution depots.{{citation needed|date=December 2020}}
