Irishtown Neighbourhood Guide
Dublin
About Irishtown
Irishtown is a well-established inner south Dublin neighbourhood in the D04 area, lying between Sandymount, Ringsend, Ballsbridge and the River Liffey docks. It has a mainly residential, village-like feel, with older terraces and cottages alongside newer apartments and convenient access to the city centre. Local education includes nearby primary provision such as Scoil Mhuire Girls National School Lakelands, while Star School Supplies reflects the area’s access to everyday school and family services. Commuters can use Dublin Bus, the DART at nearby Lansdowne Road or Sandymount, and major roads including the East-Link and Dublin Port approaches. Irishtown itself has a modest local retail and café offer, with a wider choice of restaurants, pubs and coffee shops in Ringsend, Sandymount, Ballsbridge and Grand Canal Dock. The coast, Sandymount Strand and the walkways around the River Dodder and Dublin Bay provide excellent options for walking, running and outdoor recreation. Major nearby destinations include the Convention Centre Dublin and 3Arena, while Dublin Port Company remains a prominent local landmark and employer. Residents are also close to sports clubs, community facilities and the wider leisure, cultural and business amenities of the docklands and southside city.
