Palmerstown

Palmerstown (), officially but only occasionally referred to as Palmerston, is a civil parish and suburb in South Dublin, Ireland. It is located about 8 km west of Dublin city centre. The area is bordered to the north by the River Liffey, to the west by Lucan, to the south by Ballyfermot and to the east by the village of Chapelizod. Palmerstown village is situated near the Liffey Valley Shopping Centre. The area is situated near the major junction of the M50 motorway and the N4. It is 8.8 km from Dublin city centre. The Old Lucan Road, once the main route from the city to the west, passes through the centre of Palmerstown village.
==Name origin and spelling==
A "palmer" in medieval times was a pilgrim who returned from the Holy Land with a palm branch or leaf; in the case of Palmerstown the pilgrims were associated with the leper hospital of Saint Laurence in the townland of the same name. The spelling "Palmerston" rather than "Palmerstown" was fixed by the Ordnance Survey of Ireland in the 1830s; this remains the legal spelling and is officially recognised by South Dublin County Council.〔(Palmerston - Chronology )〕 Locals generally use "Palmerstown", and road signs have used both.〔 The Local Government Act 2001 requires a plebiscite of residents for a legal name change.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Part 18, Local Government Act, 2001 )〕 In 2009 a plebiscite to change to "Palmerstown" was narrowly defeated.〔 Supporters of the change argued that the wording of the ballot confused some voters who wanted "Palmerstown" but voted No.〔 Opponents argue the cost of changing road signs is prohibitive.〔 A second vote was tabled by South Dublin County Council in December 2013.〔(Council faces a €70k bill for second vote in name row over Palmersto(w)n )〕 Others argue that the name "Palmerston" legally applies only to the civil parish and townland, and that the locality known as "Palmerstown" has a separate identity.〔(Palmerston will vote to end a very bad spell )〕
The title Viscount Palmerston created in 1722 in the Peerage of Ireland derives from the place; its spelling also varied, but the form "Lord Palmerston" is now usual for the Victorian prime minister.
