[4] In 1899 Kingstown Urban District Council became established with a jurisdiction including the villages of Sandycove, Glasthule, Glenageary, Sallynoggin and Monkstown.

[5] In 1904 the Kingstown Urban District Council sought tenders for artisans dwellings to be built in Sallynoggin.

These subsequent houses, designed by architect William Caldbeck, became the first of a huge local authority building programme which eventually produced the largely residential area of Sallynoggin as it appears today.

[citation needed] The former Technical School on Pearse Street is now the Sallynoggin College of Further Education and offers third-level courses.
