This area covers the Dublin Region except the part of County Fingal north of Swords. This area is covered by the Louth and Meath Garda Division. The Dublin Metropolitan area also includes the Kildare town of Leixlip, and the Wicklow towns of Bray, Greystones, and Enniskerry. This boundary has legal importance, as for example licences for digital television in Dublin, such as that held by NTL Ireland, cover the Metropolitan Area.
Planning usage
The term is also used in the Strategic Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area to refer to the area of Dublin and its environs which is to be consolidated as a suburban and metropolitan district. It differentiates between which towns are considered suburbs, and which are considered commuter towns. The area is considered as being from Swords and Malahide in Fingal in the north to Greystones in County Wicklow in the south, and as far west as Kilcock in County Kildare. This differs from the Gardaí's designation in that it stretches some 20 km further west.
