In October 2017, Drumcondra Triangle Residents Association (DTRA) was established to celebrate the community living in the triangle area between Home Farm Road and Griffith Park, as well as Millbourne Avenue and Millmount Avenue, Terrace and Place, and College Manor. We formed a committee and three sub-committees: 100th Anniversary Celebration Committee, Social Committee and Safety and  Environmental Committee.  Our first year has been an enormous success and we are grateful to all our neighbours who supported our events. We always welcome new members, volunteers, ideas and suggestions for improvements to our area.
