Rush (Irish: Ros Eó, meaning 'peninsula of the yew trees' [ˈɾˠɔsˠ oː]),[8] officially An Ros,[9] is a small seaside commuter town in Fingal, County Dublin, Ireland. Rush lies on the Irish Sea coast, between Skerries and Lusk, and has a small harbour. It had a population at the 2022 census of 10,875.[2]
Rush was once known as the "market garden of Ireland" for the large role market gardening played in its economy and culture.[10] In the 21st century, Rush is no longer a major centre of national horticulture and has instead evolved into a growing commuter town on the northern fringes of the Greater Dublin Area.
