Dún Laoghaire Anglicised as Dunleary, is a suburban seaside town and county seat of Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown County. The town is situated some 12 kilometres south of Dublin city centre, and is a major port of entry from Great Britain. Dún Laoghaire was once the core element of the borough of Dún Laoghaire, and remains the only town in Ireland to have its own Vocational Education Committee. It is considered part of the Greater Dublin Area. The harbour, one of the largest in the country, and base for a major car ferry route to the United Kingdom, is notable for its two granite piers. The East Pier is particularly popular with walkers, and was featured in the 1996 movie Michael Collins.
