  • Dalkey: a suburb of Dublin and seaside resort just south of Dublin City, Ireland. It was founded as a Viking settlement and became an important port during the Middle Ages
  • King of Dalkey: a mock king ceremonially crowned at a festival in Dlakety in the eighteenth century. The practice was suppressed by the British government in 1797, for fear that it might lead to cooperation with the United Irishmen. It was re-established in the 20th century,
