Editing Saggart (section)

==History==
A monastery existed just outside the village in the [[7th century]]. The remains of this monastery are found on the grounds of an equestrian centre approximately 1.5&nbsp;km from today's Saggart Village. After St Mosacra died, it became a nunnery with over 80 nuns living there until the Viking attacks of the 9th century.

By 1207, Saggart, or Tasagart, as it was then called by the [[Normans]], had been made a [[prebend]] of [[St Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin]]. In 1615, the church was reported as being in good repair but fifteen years later the church is stated to have fallen down, and the [[Protestant]] parishioners attended [[Rathcoole, Dublin|Rathcoole]] church. The current church was built in 1847.

From 1888 to 1932, the [[Dublin and Blessington Steam Tramway]] stopped at Saggart.
