Development
East Wall dates from the end of the eighteenth century from the time of the construction of the North Wall. Owing to the construction of the Royal Canal in the nineteenth century of and subsequent local port infrastructure East Wall is bounded by Railway lines, the Royal Canal, the River Tolka, the River Liffey and Dublin Port (the Irish Sea) resulting in a readily identifiable area geographically if somewhat separated from the large city which surrounds it. (Reference: DDA, 2004)
Originally a working class area, with many finding employment in Dublin Port, adjacent, the area, close to the city centre, developed rapidly, with the notable addition of the International Financial Services Centre, mostly in neighbouring North Wall, and East Point Business Park on reclaimed land extending East Wall.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
“Understanding child development takes the emphasis away from the child’s character—looking at the child as good or bad. The emphasis is put on behavior as communication. Discipline is thus seen as problem-solving. The child is helped to learn a more acceptable manner of communication.”
—Ellen Galinsky (20th century)
“A defective voice will always preclude an artist from achieving the complete development of his art, however intelligent he may be.... The voice is an instrument which the artist must learn to use with suppleness and sureness, as if it were a limb.”
—Sarah Bernhardt (1845–1923)
