Where in Dublin 15 do you live (again!)

My road is Carpenterstown but my address has Castleknock on it but my parish is Porterstown (st mochtus - bad spelling).

xzanti · 22-11-2007 11:18am

Kinda on the outskirts of Mulhuddart, heading towards Clonee..

littlebitdull · 28-11-2007 10:59pm

It is, it's under Other (please specify)

There's a maximum of 10 items to a poll, so I just went for the ones I thought most obvious.

You should just say you live in Castleknock, that's what most people living in Carpenterstown do.

Yeah why not, go for it, sure everyone in D15 lives in Castleknock!

ironictoaster · 01-12-2007 12:13pm

Tyrrelstown for me.

ParkRunner · 01-12-2007 12:23pm

I lived near Corduff for 25 years and glad to get out of it. Live in Fairview now and it is so much better with lots of buses, schools, parks that haven't got locked gates on them (Waterville) etc. Trying to get anywhere from Blanchardstown is a nightmare, I only have to get up now at the time I used to have to leave the house in Blanchardstown to get into town for the same time. The only thing I miss is being able to walk to a nearby big shopping centre but it's a small price to pay in my mind.
I would be pretty sceptical about the new phoenix park train station too with so much traffic already on the road it doesn't seem worthwhile trying to drive to that train station to wait for a train that will probably be completely packed, in fact you mightn't even get on. Ok rant over, Blanch sucks

Come on folks lets have a heated debate about whether it is right or wrong to consider carpenterstown as castleknock.

People always seem to get very passionate about it

Nevyn · 25-09-2008 7:19pm

Why not start a new thread ?

As for which a house is the deeds will tell you.
But that is all to change if the split of what is called currently castleknock goes head into
Castleknock east
Castleknock west
Castleknock.

Techinallly all of the greater D15 area is Castleknock as it falls in the Barony of Castleknock.

I cant say I've noticed anyone get heated about it tbh. Your address is what it is. Carpenterstown is Castleknock as far as I'm concerned.

universeo · 26-09-2008 12:09pm

Thats strange 'deswalsh' as i have met many people that tell me that 'carpo' is not in castleknock...even from someone i met in the U.S. tbh i agree with you, since i was a child it has always been castleknock in my address but sometime in the last few years it seems that some people get annoyed when carpenterstown is included. i have to admit it seems like an issue of snobbery that can only make you laugh.:rolleyes:
Actually 'deswalsh' you should check out tis forum i stumbled across to see what i mean: http://www.askaboutmoney.com/showthread.php?t=6139

Yes i heard about changes to the boundaries or something a long while back. Does anyone know when/if the changes will come into effect or maybe have a link to information on the changes.

Nevyn · 27-09-2008 1:23pm

Cheers Thaed. I'm rarely down that way and never noticed it on the odd occasion I was.

Nevyn · 27-09-2008 1:38pm

There are more small graveyards in the d15 area then most people think.
That one has some very intresting headstones if anyone is into the whole making rubbings of them.

the glass woman · 28-09-2008 11:05am

Originally from Delwood, but bought a house in Pinebrook, which is just off the huntstown road, about 4yrs ago

manster · 29-09-2008 11:14pm

Moved into St Mochtas 3 years ago. A couple of neighbours have their address as "Coolmine Lodge".:rolleyes: I prefer Clonsilla myself.

if i remember correctly this was put in the community voice earlier on this year ,only to be revealed in the following edition as an april fools joke. made great publicity though and got people talking about what lengths people would go to to use "castleknock, dublin 15" as their postal address

Nevyn · 30-09-2008 12:38pm

NEver saw a retraction on that, any chance you can link to it ?

Tbh anyone who calls it 'Carpo' probably thinks they're 'too mad' to live in Castleknock with the 'snobs'. Calling it 'Carpo' is usually a skanger thing in my experience.

Castleknock was always part of my address anyway.

javaboy · 01-10-2008 4:58am

Between deeds, neighbours, bills and nearest train station, my address could be Castleknock, Clonsilla, Coolmine or Blanchardstown.

Geographically it's Coolmine though so that's what I use. My parents use Clonsilla and my next door neighbours use Blanchardstown.

I used to live in Briarwood in Mulhuddart.

Ken Corla · 01-10-2008 3:02pm

The traditional rule of thumb is - The address is Castleknock if you are buying or selling a house. Otherwise you live in Carpenterstown/Blanchardstown/Laurel Lodge etc.

Very wise!

I live in Delwood, would always call it Castleknock but who am I kidding. I'm definitely a Happy Blanchie.:)
