High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Saggart (Teach Sagard in Irish) is an outer suburban village in South Dublin County, Ireland, south west of Dublin city. It lies between the N7 (Naas Road), Rathcoole, and Tallaght. In its northern hinterland is Citywest business park, as well as a golf resort and hotel.A monk called Mosacra founded a settlement on the site of the village in the 7th century. The name Saggart derives from Teach Sacra which means 'house of sacra' in Irish. By 1207, Saggart, or Tasagart, as it was then called by the Normans, had been made a prebend of the Cathedral of St. Patrick. In 1615, the church was reported as being in good repair but fifteen years later the church is stated to have fallen down, and the Protestant parishioners attended Rathcoole church.
