Rooms to Rent in Clondalkin, Dublin 22

Clondalkin is a suburban village about 10 km west of the city centre, in South Dublin and the Dublin 22 postal district. Founded as a monastery on the River Camac over 1,400 years ago, it is still dominated by its round tower, one of the oldest in Ireland and one of only four left in the historic County Dublin, which stands 25.6 metres tall with its original conical cap. Its Irish name, Cluain Dolcáin, means the pasture of Dolcán.

The village has kept its own identity, with pubs, shops, Tully's Castle and St Brigid's Well, and a strong Irish language community centred on Áras Chrónáin and three local gaelscoileanna. Corkagh Park, a 120-hectare former estate south of the village, has woodland, playing pitches, a cycling track, a playground and Ireland's national baseball field. Liffey Valley Shopping Centre is on the northern edge of the area at the M50 and N4.

Clondalkin Fonthill station on the Kildare line has commuter trains to Heuston, and some services continue through the Phoenix Park tunnel to Drumcondra, Connolly and Grand Canal Dock. Bus routes link the village with the city centre, Liffey Valley, Lucan and Tallaght. Rooms range from spare rooms in family homes to house shares, and Clondalkin suits people who want more space and a village with its own character, with direct trains into town.
