Northside (Dublin)

The Northside is the area bounded to the south by the River Liffey and to the east by Dublin Bay in Dublin, Ireland. It is not an official administrative area but a colloquial term; it is seen as less desirable than the Southside and is more industrialised. Areas in the Northside include Artane, Baldoyle, Ballymun, Beaumont, Cabra, Clontarf, Coolock, Finglas, Glasnevin, Grangegorman, Howth, Kilbarrack, Killester, Marino, Raheny, Santry, Whitehall.

The area is sometimes referred to as DNS (or De Nort Soide) to reflect the supposed accent of its inhabitants. Stereotypical Northsiders are sometimes referred to as skangers. The term Skanger is usually labelled upon working class "salt of the earth" type Dubliners.

Postal code areas in the Northside are odd, while Southside codes are even. One exception is the Phoenix Park, which is on the Northside but has an even postal code (8).
