Rooms to Rent in Inchicore, Dublin 8

Inchicore is a residential district about 5 km west of the city centre, south of the River Liffey, between Kilmainham to the east and Ballyfermot to the west, with Drimnagh to the south. It began as a small village and grew around Richmond Barracks, built in 1810, and the Inchicore Railway Works, founded in the 1840s, which are still Iarnród Éireann's headquarters for rolling stock engineering and the largest complex of their kind in Ireland. The village core is at the junction of Emmet Road and Tyrconnell Road, with local shops, supermarkets, takeaways and pubs, including the historic Black Lion.

History is close at hand. Richmond Barracks, where leaders of the 1916 Rising were court-martialled, reopened as a museum in 2016, and Kilmainham Gaol and the Irish Museum of Modern Art are next door in Kilmainham. The Irish National War Memorial Gardens have an Inchicore entrance on Con Colbert Road, and the Grand Canal runs along the southern edge of the area, with a greenway running 8.5 km from the 3rd Lock at Inchicore to the 12th Lock at Lucan. St Patrick's Athletic play League of Ireland football at Richmond Park.

The Luas Red line runs along the southern side of Inchicore, with stops from Blackhorse to Suir Road giving direct trams to Heuston, the city centre and Tallaght, and several bus routes serve the area. Inchicore suits people working in the city centre, at St James's Hospital or along the Red line who want a neighbourhood with its own village centre.
