Sandymount is nowadays an affluent area, part of the famous Dublin 4 postal district.

It is the birthplace of the worldwide famous Nobel prize winner William Butler Yeats. During his lifetime, you could get to Sandymount two ways: by tram, as you can see, or by train. Currently the modern Dublin tram, the Luas, doesn’t go to Sandymount, unlike the train, which has been transporting passengers there since 1835.
