Balrothery East

Balrothery East (Irish: Baile an Ridire Thoir[1]) is one of the baronies of Ireland.

[2] Balrothery, thus once a feudal title of nobility, was later split into eastern and western divisions.

[3] It was organised soon after the Norman invasion of Ireland by Hugh de Lacy, Lord of Meath.

Balrothery East formerly included Lambay Island,[3] which is now part of the barony of Nethercross.

[4] The barony is divided into five civil parishes: Balrothery,[l 1] Baldongan,[l 2] Balscaddan,[l 3] Holmpatrick,[l 4] and Lusk,[l 5] The main population centres of the barony are Balbriggan, Skerries, Rush, and Lusk.
