Greater Dublin Area
The Greater Dublin Area (GDA; Irish: Mórcheantar Bhaile Átha Cliath), or Greater Dublin, is an informal term that is taken to include the city of Dublin and its hinterland, with varying definitions as to its extent. At the expansive end, it has been defined as including all of County Dublin and three neighbouring counties, while more commonly it is taken as the contiguous metropolitan area of Dublin plus suburban and commuter towns.
