    Can anyone here from that area tell me what area the northside shopping centres in. Everyone I know from Coolock tells me its not in Coolock but they can't tell me what the area really is. If its not Coolock what is it Santry? The Plex is definitely Coolock noone can dispute that and the Northsides in between Santry and the Plex so its either Coolock, Santy, or some area in between Coolock and Santry.

    The Howth East Quarter, I would have thought. :D

    Seriously though, my uncle lives nearby and I'm sure he calls it Coolock.

    I've seen signs around there saying Coolock, Bonnybrook and Clonslaugh. I've never even heard of Bonnybrook. Where does Santry end? I thought anything west of the swords road was Ballymun and everything east was Santry.

    Yea **** it Im gonna keep calling it Coolock too until someone can tell me what area it is if its not Coolock.

    no, a lot of santry is west of swords road too. Santry hits beaumont to the south east, but is seperated from Coolock by a fair distance. This map gives you a rough idea.

    Thanks. Someone should make a proper area map of Dublin that lists all the areas. Driving down the Malahide road into town according to the shop signs one minute your in Artane next minute your in Donnycarney, then your back in Artane again then once you get to the Clontarf road none of the shops can agree on whether its Fairview, Marino or Clontarf.

    Bonnybrook is up around the Cadburys Factory. Not too far from UCI Coolock, other side of the road

    Northside SC is Coolock, I agree with others here

    This is the same old problem that comes up regularly here. The old parishes - Coolock, Raheny etc., and 'new' places like Clonshaugh, Bonnybrook, Edenmore.

    Northside SC is in Coolock.

    There's no official borders for the names of areas in Dublin. That's why Finglas east and ballymun have turned into Glasnevin. in 10 years there will be no Swords, and Malahide will be all of dublin north of the M50, and include Balbriggan!

    Yeah its greedy estate agents,businesses and snobby people,changing addresses to make an area more 'respectable' like Cabra Park being in Phibsboro if that makes sense and parts of Cabra West being called Navan Road,which is just a road.remember old Finglas Road,now called Glasnevin Avenue,and Aryfield being Malahide Road and Clongriffin,not Coolock,residents in D4 actually tried to have Ringsend and Pearse Street turned into D4E,it was parodied in the Ross O'Carrol Kelly books,but it was based on truth!

    I'm from the area.

    It is definitely in Coolock. Definitely.

    As are the UCI, Plex and Power City list that branch as Coolock too.

    Coolock starts at St Brendan's Church, the old village and goes up to Lorcan, accross to the N32 at Clonshaugh, to include Darndale, Priorswood.

    However, the estates in behind the UCI, I wouldn't class as Coolock, Ard Na Greine etc, they are in D13, which is not Coolock as far as I am aware.

    Artane goes from St Brendan's Church, off over to that church called Artane Church, down areound the Goblet pub and up to the Rec, near Artane Castle, down the Kilmore Road to Northside, and that moon estate.

    Pearse Street is in Dublin 2. Dublin 4 doesn't begin until one has crossed McMahon Bridge over the Grand Canal Basin at Boland's Mills.

    i can see what they say about it not being in coolock, but then most of the northside used to be coolock.

    its in Electroal district and townland Kilmore C, so its Kilmore,coolock

    I would agree, there are several definitions of Coolock though ranging from the village & the parish to the barony (which covers most of north Dublin).
    I remember reading a planning permission notice in the airport last year, the full address included 'Barony of Coolock' at the end.

    Coolock, but for people from the area it's best to say Kilmore to be more specific.

    Not a chance.

    Kilmore is the other side of the Oscar Traynor Road, where the flats are, off the Kilmore Road.

    Northside could possibly be considered to be in Bunratty or Clonshaugh at a stretch.
