I found this on Wiki

The Ormonde cinema in Greystones, which closed in July 2007, featured in the Father Ted episode "The Passion Of St Tibulus" and also in an episode of Custer's Last Standup.

Greystones featured as the backdrop for some scenes in the popular BBC series Ballykissangel.

In the 1980s, many scenes from a series called "Rose of Dublin" were filmed around the harbour area of Greystones.

The town was commonly used in the Irish programme Glenroe.

The movie Taffin, starring Pierce Brosnan, was filmed in Greystones.

Greystones featured in an episode of Dream Team, a Sky One soccer soap series.

Parts of George Gently, a 2007 British detective mini-series by BBC, were filmed around the Harbour. Martin Shaw, starred in the production which is set in sixties-Britain (Northhumberland). The Beach House pub was renamed 'The Mariner's Rest' for the occasion.

Damien Rice lives here as well and Ronnie Drew lived here.

I love how my town is literally named after a strech of grey stones
