South Dublin is the last county in Ireland to have any alterations made to its boundary, these being made in 1993 to accommodate the M50 motorway. It is also the last county to undergo a name change, its original name of "Belgard" being changed to South Dublin when the area was altered from being an Electoral County to an Administrative County in 1994 (Fingal and Dun Laoghaire-Rathdown's boundaries and names were both set in 1985). The name of Belgard did have a historical association with the area, being the designation of one of the border fortresses of the Pale which existed in that area. It was altered however under the view that the name Belgard would create associations to certain areas of modern development in Tallaght that now also use that name. The county is still identified as Belgard by certain Government departments¹ to differentiate it from the geographical area of south Dublin. Representations can be made at any time by the elected members of the County Council to the Government requesting a legal name change.
