Hi. As recently discussed at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Ireland#Describing Dublin's suburban/commuter towns, there is perhaps more than one way of describing Chapelizod. However, and by way of explanation for a recent series of edits, I would note that most sources appear to use "village" or "suburban village" or similar.

These include some sources which describe Chapelizod (or perhaps just its centre?) as a "village". Including:

• RTÉ (1998) "The village is a stone’s throw from the Phoenix Park"
• Dublin City Council (2009) "Chapelizod is a significant nucleus of a village with outlying houses that has developed slowly over time"
• Irish Independent (2015) "on the Tidy Towns front - the village won the Urban Village section in 2010"
• etc.

However, there are far more refs (spanning a period from the 19th to the 21st century and including several authoritative sources) which describe it as a "suburban village". Including those linked in the article. For example:

• Fraser (1838) "Chapelizod (..) is an agreeably situated suburban village"
• Herbert (1866) "our suburban village of Chapelizod and the adjoining park"
• Oxford Reference (2009) "Chapelizod Dublin (..) Suburban village on the Liffey, 3 m. W of Dublin, on the N4"
• Irish Literature in Transition (2020) "lets us understand why he (Joyce) sets Finnegans Wake not in Dublin city but in the suburban village of Chapelizod"
• An Taisce (2021) "Several heritage buildings stand derelict in the pretty suburban village of Chapelizod"
• etc.

Despite this unexplained recent addition, I can find no sources which justify its description as simply a "town". Unless there is specific reason for changing, the description we've had here for some time ("suburb (village core)" or "suburban village" or similar) seems more than supported by the refs. Personally I favour "suburban village". As that is perhaps most consistently used in multiple sources. Guliolopez (talk) 13:52, 15 March 2025 (UTC)
