Skerries

Skerries is a coastal metropolis in Fingal, Ireland. Historically Skerries changed into an active fishing port and later a main centre of hand embroidery, however in the 20th century, it became each a resort and a dormitory city for Dublin commuters. The call comes from the Norse word skere which has descended into the Irish phrase na sceiri because of this the rocks. Early writers inform how an island off Skerries becomes used as a landing region for an invasion, which came about within the 2nd century C.E.

This island turned into both her nick and Red Island, which would have been a tidal island on the time. When the invaders landed, they formed ranks and at low tide marched to the mainland, in which they had been directly defeated at the historical settlement of Knocknagin, north of Balbriggan. The islands have been previously called the Islands of Cor in all likelihood after the unique inhabitants. As stated, in 432 AD, St. Patrick landed on Church Island, and in step with the Annals of Inisfallen Saint Mochonna founded a monastery quickly afterwards.
