Cabra () is a suburb on the northside of Dublin city in Ireland. It is approximately 2 km north-west of the city centre, in the administrative area of Dublin City Council.
Suburban rail stops in the rundown Broombridge railway station in Cabra, en route to Maynooth. As part of the government's Transport 21 strategy, there are plans to extend the Luas. By linking the present red line to Dublin Airport, there would be stops at local areas like Liffey Junction and the new Dublin Institute of Technology development at Grangegorman.
Much of Cabra was built in the 1940s as a building programme for public housing by Dublin Corporation. Before it was built, the area mostly comprised fields and open countryside on the edge of the city and in the townland of Grangegorman. Many of the people who moved to the new suburb were from the rooms and tenement buildings of the city centre.
Numerous footballers hail from Cabra, including Republic of Ireland international goalkeeper Wayne Henderson. Also, Eamonn Fagan and Liam Whelan, both from St. Attracta's Road. Liam was one of the Manchester United Busby Babes who died in the Munich plane crash. Connaught Bridge was later named in memory of Liam Whelan. The former Leeds United and Irish player and manager John Giles also originally hails from the area. Roddy Collins, former manager of Bohemians, Shamrock Rovers and Maltese side Floriana lived in Cabra before being appointed manager of Cork City.
The text on the plaque reads:
Here as he walked by on the 16th of October 1843 Sir William Rowan Hamilton in a flash of genius discovered the fundamental formula for quaternion multiplication i² = j² = k² = ijk = −1 & cut it on a stone of this bridge. Given the historical importance of the mathematical contribution, mathematicians have been known to make a pilgrimage of sorts to the site.
