Editing Finglas (section)

==Geography==
The centre of Finglas lies on a rise overlooking the valley of the [[River Tolka]], at an altitude of {{convert|59|m}}. The Tolka runs through western and southern Finglas, and forms part of the boundary between Finglas and Glasnevin. Flowing from the north is the stream, the Finglas River, for which the area is named, forming in turn from branches from the townlands of Grange and Kildonan to the north. After meeting a tributary, the St. Margaret's Road Stream, the Finglas flows through the village centre in a culvert, and along the eastern side of Finglas Road, joining the Tolka at Finglas Bridge.<ref name="TenDozW_FinglasR">{{cite book |last1=Doyle |first1=Joseph W. |title=Ten Dozen Waters: The Rivers and Streams of County Dublin |date=2013 |publisher=Rath Eanna Research |location=Dublin |isbn=9780956636379 |page=31 |edition=8th}}</ref> To the west of the village centre rises the Finglaswood Stream, which joins the River Tolka via an [[Integrated Constructed Wetland]] near a small civic golf course.<ref name="TenDozW_Finglaswood">{{cite book |last1=Doyle |first1=Joseph W. |title=Ten Dozen Waters: The Rivers and Streams of County Dublin |date=2013 |publisher=Rath Eanna Research |location=Dublin |isbn=9780956636379 |page=30 |edition=8th}}</ref>
