The Barretos visiting Dublin in the fall of 2001.
Malahide, which means "on the brow of the sea" is a village nine miles north of Dublin. The castle is close to the village and is built on a small rise which commands a view of the bay. There are many magnificent oaks, chestnuts and sycamores dating to the days of the Tudors. The hall of the castle is one of the purest specimens of Norman architecture. Talbot family was in the possession of Malahide Castle from 1174 until 1976 with the exception of a period of eleven years, 1649 to 1660.

Malahide doesn't mean the brow of the sea it mean Mullach íde which mean the hill of íde.
