Clonsilla

LeSageMignon

The boundaries/ official addresses around Dublin 15 are incredibly confusing. St Francis Xavier JNS for example is apparently Clonsilla, and the senior school's address (across the small school yard) is Castleknock. Not to cast aspersions on any area or the residents as I know that there are good and bad people everywhere but, in my opinion, if you like the Roselawn area you will not like living in Mountview. It's rather concrete and soulless and my experience of the residents there has not been pleasant. If you do wish to live around Roselawn or Clonsilla Village there are usually a few properties to rent but most residents there are home-owners who have lived there for 30, 40 or 50+ years. Your best bet would be the newer estates like Station Court, Windmill, Riverwood, Portersgate, etc. If you search by map view on Daft you'll see exactly where the available houses are rather than guessing based on confusing address systems.

Eh, I think Rory is think of parishes. So the parish of Blanch and the parish of Clonsilla. But a lot of what he has lumped into Blanchardstown is Castleknock, or to be correct, the barony of Castleknock.

The Barony of Castleknock (Irish: Caisleán Cnucha) meaning "Cnucha's Castle"[1] is one of the baronies of Ireland, an historical geographical unit of land. It takes its name from the suburban village of the same name - Castleknock. The town with the biggest population in the barony is Blanchardstown.

It is one of seven and a half baronies that used to comprise the old County Dublin. It stretches from Cabra to Blanchardstown (from east to west) and from Finglas to Chapelizod (from north to south). It is located between the baronies of Coolock to the east, Upper Cross to the south and Newcastle to the southwest.[2] The whole of the barony is contained within the modern county of Fingal and it is subject to Fingal County Council.

It seems that the barony of Castleknock covers a large area.

Personally I think it should be all done by townland. Barony is not useful, and parish is a religious boundary nothing to do with anything.

That will add a few quid on the price of the house Mulhuddart in Finglas? That will please them

I've lived in Clonsilla for the past 6 years. Generally happy enough with the place.

Tonight probably not the best night for a balanced review, as my 17 y/o stepson got mugged.

It's usually OK before 11pm though. They mostly come at night. Mostly... pac:

I live in the Sorrel estates off Shelerin Road. He was jumped around Lohunda.

Guards said this is unusual, FWIW.

Despite this, I like Clonsilla. There's not much to eat or go out (to my tastes) so we go into town for that, but the schools are fine and it's a decent enough place to raise a family.

If I was 21 and single it would drive me insane.

That's desperate hope he's okay.

I like our choice of restaurants:
Shimla
Itallian in village
Indian in ongar
Clonsilla inn for bar food
Douglas and kaldi
Captain Americas
TGIs
Noodle place beside mamas and papas
Eddie rocketts
Chipper
Clonee restos
Cdowne plaza blanch
Hotel in tyrellstown
Tyrellstown cafe
Dominos
Pizza hut
Starbucks (4? 5??)

Jeebs I eat out too much


Edit.
Oh and let's not forget Auntie Annes in the towncentre!!!!

Thanks, couple of scratches and bruises. He kicked one of them in the face and managed to escape with his bike, so no material loss either.

Ah, the restaurants. Jaipur is nice enough, the Clonsilla chipper chips are great and Eddie Rockets classic with choc malt is heavenly death, but I've tried the rest and wouldn't bother to go back.

The biggest problem I have with D15 eating out is the prices. I can go into town and eat better for less.

Although there's a new Indian cafe next to Coolmine Decor that's got some very interesting stuff for not much money.

Haven't tried Douglas and Kaldi or Tyrellstown cafe yet, must do those.

Captain Americas. :eek:

Sorry to hear about your stepson being mugged. Very shocking.

Must check out the new Indian Cafe, sounds interesting....

Captain Americas is not somewhere I enjoy eating......cocktails on the other hand.....well lets just say I am partial to a "tower" of alcohol!;)
